Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has quedado postergada en vientos
Lejanos, pasados, amados
Tierra que no entiendo
Y me olvidas cuando salgo al mundo
Portando tu nombre soñando
Lejos del ayer aquí estoy
Lejos del ayer aquí estoy
Recordando tu calor
Tierra que has sufrido
El martirio de las manos
Del odio, armado, de odio
Tierra que se olvida
Las canciones que por ti darían
Las gracias a la vida
Un día más
Lejos del ayer aquí estoy
Recordando tu calor
Lejos del ayer aquí estoy
Revelándote mi amor
Arrimada
En el sur del mundo
Voy marcando el rumbo
Para volver
Arrimada
En el sur del mundo
Voy marcando el rumbo
Para volver, sha, na, na, na, na
Aquí estoy, recordando
Tu calor, sha, na, na, na, na
Aquí estoy, recordándote
Sha, na, na, na, na
Aquí estoy, recordando
Tu calor, sha, na, na, na
Aquí estoy
Sha, na, na, na, na
Recordando tu calor
Sha, na, na, na, na
Contemplándote
Sha, na, na, na, na
Recordándote
