(Intro)
Yeah…
Born in Mexico, streets under the sun,
Nine years old, then everything undone.
Mi familia… lejos de casa.
(Verse 1)
I remember the heat, colors so bright,
Running through alleys, laughing all night.
Markets alive, tacos on the street,
Life was simple, every day felt sweet.
Nine winters passed, then came the flight,
Packed our lives in bags, out of sight.
Germany cold, streets gray and wide,
Lost my playground, my barrio inside.
Teachers don’t understand, language too tough,
New friends are scarce, and life gets rough.
Extraño mi tierra, mi hogar, mi sol,
Learning to survive, playing a different role.
(Pre-Chorus)
From tacos to bread, from sun to snow,
Heart still beats where the warm winds blow.
Every memory a spark, every dream a tear,
I carry my roots, though I’m far from here.
(Chorus)
From Mexico to here, I had to grow,
Learn the streets I didn’t know.
Mi familia, mi fuerza, mi paz,
Lost a world, but I make it last.
Dreams of the barrio in my mind,
Lost in time, but roots still bind.
From Mexico to Germany, I stand,
Heart in two worlds, still a man.
(Verse 2)
First winter hit, couldn’t play outside,
Missed the colors, missed the tide.
Neighbors talk, but I can’t reply,
Words sound strange, tears run dry.
Schoolyard fights, learning to defend,
Lost some friends, gained new trends.
Every night dreaming of the sun,
Where I was free, where life begun.
El amor por mi tierra nunca murió,
Even in cold streets, my heart still knew.
Family together, making it right,
Holding onto hope every night.
(Bridge)
From tacos to currywurst, adapting slow,
But inside I keep the Mexico glow.
Culture, color, music, spice,
Life gave me two worlds, both my prize.
(Chorus)
From Mexico to here, I had to grow,
Learn the streets I didn’t know.
Mi familia, mi fuerza, mi paz,
Lost a world, but I make it last.
Dreams of the barrio in my mind,
Lost in time, but roots still bind.
From Mexico to Germany, I stand,
Heart in two worlds, still a man.
(Outro)
Yeah…
Nine years old, carried across the sea,
Now I’m me, two homes in harmony.
Mi sangre, mi raíz, mi historia…
From Mexico to here, forever glory
