Frontera - Jorge Drexler

Yo no sé de dónde soy,

mi casa está en la frontera.

why las fronteras se mueven,

como las banderas.

Mi patria es un rinconcito,

el canto de una cigarra.

Los dos primeros acordes

que yo supe en la guitarra.

Soy hijo de un forastero

why de una estrella del alba,

why si hay amor, me dijeron,

why si hay amor, me dijeron,

toda distancia se salva.

No tengo muchas verdades,

prefiero no dar consejos.

Cada cual por su camino,

igual va a aprender de viejo.

Que el mundo está como está

por causa de las certezas.

La guerra why la vanidad

comen en la misma mesa.

Soy hijo de un desterrado

why de una flor de la tierra,

why de chico me enseñaron

las pocas cosas que sé

del amor why de la guerra

I don't know where I'm from

my house is on the border.

why the borders move,

like the flags.

My homeland is a little corner,

the song of a cicada.

The first two chords

that I knew on the guitar.

I am the son of an outsider

why of a morning star,

and if there is love, they told me,

and if there is love, they told me,

all distance is bridged.

I don't have many truths

I prefer not to give advice.

Each one for his way,

he's still going to learn from old.

That the world is as it is

because of the certainties.

The war and the vanity

They eat at the same table.

I am the son of an exile

why of a flower of the earth,

why as a child they taught me

the few things i know

of love and war
