Vuelve [English translation]

A friend is asking about you

He says

You’ve changed

He doesn’t dare come around here

He says

The weather turned bad1

The rumour that reached him

Is

You mustn't go out after ten

Come back to my city

Come back over here

Don’t let yourself be deceived by fear

Come back to my city

Come back over here

Don’t let yourself be deceived by fear

It’s true

You don’t see anyone here dancing

On the streets

These are dark times

I won’t lie

But I’d like to cheer you up

My brave nation

My daring nation

Oppressed, by the way

But capable

Of looking forward

Innocent smile

Hand in hand,

They are our people

Women, ladies, beautiful ones, wives

Perhaps radiant

Butterfiles fly

Since our truth

Is only called seeking freedom

We don’t really know how to get out

Come here

And be our hero

Come back

Come back

Come back…

Come back to my city

Come back over here

Don’t let yourself be deceived by fear

Come back to my city

Come back over here

Don’t let yourself be deceived by fear

Come back to my city

Come back over here

Don’t let yourself be deceived by fear

Come back to my city

Come back over here

Don’t let yourself be deceived by fear

Come back to our city

To seek freedom

Come back

Come back…
