	Traduzione inglese di Coopysnoopy da LyricsTranslate
NOSTALGIA, ¿DE QUÉ?	HOMESICKNESS, FOR WHAT?

Cuando digo “nostalgia”, “ilusión” es lo que expreso,	When I say "homesickness", I say "dream".
pues apenas queda nada de esa vieja patria.	Because the old home hardly exists.
Cuando digo nostalgia, a menudo me pregunto:	When I say "homesickness", I mean a lot:
¿Qué nos oprimía largamente en el exilio?	What us oppressed in exile for a long time.
Extraños somos ahora en nuestra tierra natal.	Now we are strangers in the hometown.
Sólo la “pena” queda.	Only the "sickness" remained.
El “hogar” se ha perdido.	The "home" is gone.
