Paroles et traduction Rafael Silva - A su patria es el Amor

A su patria es el Amor

En un lugar perteneciente a este país
Vivía un hombre que aunque pobre era feliz
Entre sus familiares era uno más
Más bien era ignorado, esa es la verdad
Quiso salir a aventurar a otro país para ser más

Así es como el tiempo transcurrió
Su vida era holgada por su profesión
Nunca se acostumbró a pesar del bienestar
No quiso ser foráneo, sólo quiso regresar
Y aprendió a valorar su nación, tierra natal

Es muy grande su corazón
Y a su patria es el amor
Y a su patria es el amor

Después de muchos años a su ciudad regresó
Mucho había cambiado, una alegría lo embargó
Todos lo atendían, todos lo trataban bien
Pero tras su espalda hablaban mal de él
Se querían tan sólo aprovechar de su amistad

Él no había cambiado nada, era el mismo de ayer
Y todos al darse cuenta decían una y otra vez
- "¡Acá estamos mal!", "¿Qué estás haciendo aquí?"
Pero no entendían que era por amor a su país
Él aprendió a valorar su nación, tierra natal

Es muy grande su corazón
Y a su patria es el amor
Y a su patria es el amor

Es muy grande su corazón
Y a su patria es el amor
Y a su patria es el amor

Love for His Homeland

In a place belonging to this country, my love,
Lived a man, though poor, he was happy, you see,
Among his family, he was just one more,
Rather, he was ignored, that's the truth, for sure,
He wanted to venture out to another country to become more, my dear.

That's how time passed by, my sweet,
His life was comfortable because of his profession, you greet,
He never got used to it, despite the well-being,
He didn't want to be a foreigner, he just wanted to be seeing,
His nation, his homeland, and he learned to appreciate its being.

His heart is so big and true,
And his love is for his homeland, it's for you,
And his love is for his homeland, it's anew.

After many years, he returned to his city, my fair,
Much had changed, a joy embraced him there,
Everyone attended to him, everyone treated him well,
But behind his back, they spoke ill of him, I tell,
They just wanted to take advantage of his friendship, their spell.

He hadn't changed at all, he was the same as yesterday,
And everyone, realizing this, said again and again, hooray,
"We're in a bad way here!", "What are you doing here?", they say,
But they didn't understand it was for the love of his country, come what may,
He learned to value his nation, his native land, today.

His heart is so big and kind,
And his love is for his homeland, you'll find,
And his love is for his homeland, intertwined.

His heart is so big and grand,
And his love is for his homeland, across the land,
And his love is for his homeland, hand in hand.
