Lyrics
Milonga de Andar Lejos
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Qué lejos está mi tierra
Y, sin embargo, qué cerca
o es que existe un territorio
donde las sangres se mezclan.
Tanta distancia y camino,
tan diferentes banderas
y la pobreza es la misma
los mismos hombres esperan.
Yo quiero romper mi mapa,
formar el mapa de todos,
mestizos, negros y blancos,
trazarlo codo con codo.
Los ríos son como venas
de un cuerpo entero extendido,
y es el color de la tierra
la sangre de los caídos.
No somos los extranjeros
los extranjeros son otros;
son ellos los mercaderes
y los esclavos nosotros.
Yo quiero romper la vida,
como cambiarla quisiera,
ayúdeme compañero;
ayúdeme, no demore,
que una gota con ser poco
con otra se hace aguacero.
