Cancion Mixteca

I first heard this song in the movie Paris, Texas. It meant more after I'd been in Mexico. I hardly have any chance to speak Spanish nowadays, but still have a lot of music gathered during my travels in Latin America. Something about the Spanish language speaks to the heart. It's the language of love and loss, of joy and pain. Quisiera morir de sentimiento.

¡Qué lejos estoy del suelo donde he nacido!
Inmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento
y al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento
quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento.

¡Oh tierra del sol, suspiro por verte!
Ahora que lejos yo vivo sin luz, sin amor
y al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento
quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento.
