La tierra prometida [English translation]

Intro]

Visit Madrid, I went to Barcelona and Paris

The art was so great In Roma and Florenca

How not to adore Budapest and Berlin

how not to adore the women in Sweeden

[Pre-Coro]

But just like

the land is only delivered to the sea

your look

the landscape that I wanna return to

[Coro]

that's why I always ask for it

may the promised land take me

for the people are aways well loved

And if it takes me very far back

[Verse 1]

Visit Nepal and I even managed to meditate

And I came to think that Buddha was in my grief

I wanted to hang around, I went to Dubai and Qatar

I can not deny that it is a very good life

[Pre-Chorus]

But likewise

The land is only delivered to the sea

Your look

The landscape that I want to return to

[Chorus]

That's why I always ask for life

May the promised land take me

That people are always well loved

And if it takes me very far back

[Verse 2]

I like hip-hop and reggae and reggaeton and the palenque

The vallenato, the cumbia, what my people prefer

I like Argentine rock and the sound of England

The soul, the blues, the corrido and the joints of my land

[Chorus]

That's why I always ask for life

May the promised land take me

That people are always well loved

And if it takes me very far back
