El Otro Lado

Donde esta mi amor
Esta en el otro lado
Por eso yo me voy
En mi causa soy soldado

(Where is my love?
She’s on the other side
That’s why I go
In this cause I’m a soldier)

Yo sigo marchando sigo buscando
Un hueco que todo se está cerrando
De mi país yo salí fugando
Sentí que mi fin se estaba acercando

Quiero Mi Pueblo no su condicion
Lo están destruyendo No tengo Opcion
Pero te digo que no resigno
Seguiremos el camino puesto y fijo

I keep marching I keep looking
For a space since everything is closing
From my country, I left urgently
I felt that my end was approaching

I love my country but not its current condition
They are destroying it, I’m leaving I have no choice
But I tell you that I do not resign

All I want is to live better
with opportunities
to earn and receive cheddar
Better wages and education opportunities
—Instead of dangerous
Confrontations wit Authorities
—Most people are jobless
In my homeland
And can’t afford to own their own land let alone plan
So as a grown man
I gotta take responsibility
And find stability
but that could
end up killing me Still—
-I willingly
do it for family
& sacrifice myself
To protect them from calamity
A refugee
Searching for sanctuary
-And legal or illegal
I gotta go
Get the money for them

Donde
Se fue mi amor
Oh

Se fue mi amor
Se llevaron my amor
Ay como la extraño
Han sido mil años

Soy soy, del lado de amor
Soy guerrero, guerrillero

Y me voy yo me voy.
Ay mira, me voy

Where did my love go
My love has gone
My love has left

They took my love
Oh, how I miss her
It’s been a thousand years

I am on the side of love
I’m a warrior a warrior

And I’m going I’m going
Look, I’m going there
