Tish Hinojosa - Donde Voy




In a November post, we featured Tish Hinojosa's song The Westside of Town, about growing up Latina in San Antonio. Today let's hear Hinojosa's beautiful Spanish language ballad Donde Voy.





DONDE VOY
(Where I go)
By Tish Hinojosa


Madrugada me ve corriendo
(Daybreak finds me running)
Bajo cielo que empieza color
(Under a sky that's beginning to color)
No me salgas sol a nombrarme
(Sun please don't expose me)
A la fuerza de "la migración"
(To the force of the INS)
Un dolor que siento en el pecho
(The pain that I feel in my chest)
Es mi alma que llore de amor
(Is my heart that hurts for love)
Pienso en ti y tus brazos que esperan
(I think of you and your arms that wait)
Tus besos y tu passión
(Your kisses and your passion)
(Chorus)
Donde voy, donde voy
(Where I go, where I go)
Esperanza es mi destinación
(Hope is my destination)
Solo estoy, solo estoy
(I'm alone, I'm alone)
Por el monte profugo me voy
(Through the desert, a fugitive, I go)
Dias semanas y meces
(Days, weeks and months)
Pasa muy lejos de ti
(Pass far away from you)
Muy pronto tu llega dinero
(Soon you'll receive some money)
Yo te quiero tener junto a mi
(I want to have you near me)
El trabajo me llena las horas
(Work fills my hours)
Tu risa no puedo olividar
(Your laughter I can't forget)
Vivir sin tu amor no es vida
(To live with out your love isn't living)
Vivir de prófugo es igual
(To live as a fugitive is the same)
