Letra del Tango Tierra querida

Yo no sé
cómo podría vivir
sin recordar
las emociones sublimes
del amor
donde ternuras gocé
de un tibio hogar
en el que yo fui feliz.
Yo no sé
que haya otra tierra fecunda
como tú
de amores, gloria y mujeres
sin igual,
de bellas flores y un cielo
en donde el sol
¡Irradia luz de libertad!

Tierra querida
en que nací
el rubí de tus auroras
no veré.
¡Tu cielo puro y tu sol
ya no podré gozar lejos de ti!

Tierra querida
en ti dejé
los ideales y ensueños
de mi ser,
mi dulce madre y la que
mi corazón
llena de amor y fe.

English lyrics of the Tango "Tierra querida"

I don’t know
how I could live
without recalling
the sublime emotions
of love,
where I enjoyed the tenderness
of a warm home
in which I was happy.
I don’t know
of another fertile land
like you,
of loves, glory, and unmatched women,
of beautiful flowers and a sky
where the sun
radiates light of freedom!

Beloved land
where I was born,
the ruby of your dawns
I will not see.
Your pure sky and your sun
I can no longer enjoy far from you!

Beloved land,
in you I left
the ideals and dreams
of my being,
my sweet mother and the one
who fills my heart
with love and faith.
