Translation of the song lyrics War - Andrés Calamaro

War (original)

Vengo de muy lejos a vivir aquí
En la casa que está de frente al río
Vengo a buscar nomás lo que es mío
Es una promesa que debo cumplir
Vengo a cortar la hiedra que me envuelve
Y me da frío
Y a cortar los árboles que no son míos
Que me cierren
Que me cierren el camino
Vengo de muy lejos a vivir aquí
Vengo a llevar nomás lo que es mío
Es una promesa que debo cumplir
Vengo a cortar la hiedra que me envuelve
Y me da frío
Y a quemar los árboles que no son míos
Es una promesa que debo cumplir
Es una promesa que debo cumplir

War (translation)

I come from far away to live here
In the house that faces the river
I come to look for just what is mine
It's a promise I must keep
I come to cut the ivy that surrounds me
and it makes me cold
And to cut down the trees that are not mine
shut me down
that they close my way
I come from far away to live here
I come to take only what is mine
It's a promise I must keep
I come to cut the ivy that surrounds me
and it makes me cold
And to burn the trees that are not mine
It's a promise I must keep
It's a promise I must keep
