Rafo Raez - El Hombre Que Quer

Yo entregu mi juventud al Per
y el Per me hizo viejo
ya que, hubiera estado en Timbuct
ahora sera un pellejo

Yo entregu mi juventud al Per
y el Per me la hizo larga
me he divertido menos que t tal vez
pero yo tena una carga

Que no quera dejar
sino hacer, cultivar
porque yo crea ser
rbol en algn lugar

En mi lugar, de mi lugar
rbol, ser un rbol

==Translation==

I gave my whole youth to Peru
and Peru made me an old man
Were I been in Timbuctu
Now I'd be a piece of skin

I gave my whole youth to Peru
and Peru made me wait
maybe I've had less fun than you
but I had a load to bear

Which I didn't want to drop
but to make, to cultivate
because I thought I was
a tree somewhere

At my place, there

A tree, I will be a tree
