[Intro] Leaving Chile’s lights behind I surrender to the midnight flight In the lounge of a connecting airport I spend the night Then land in Argentina [Verse 1] The capital is Buenos Aires “Buenos días” greets the morning air A city bigger than I imagined Tango rhythms call the dawn The scent of coffee fills the streets Footsteps echo on the stone Caminito’s colors shine Every frame is living art Red walls, windows painted blue Colors climbing up the hills A small statue bears a famous number Leaving footprints on the world With one left foot, dreams were drawn Moments of magic brought to life A legend lives in red and blue Passed down through time I write the sights I’ve seen In this notebook of memories [Pre-Chorus] I found a mate cup And a bombilla too With so many kinds of tea leaves Choosing became part of the journey A companion for my mate We shared the same warm cup Even when the words were few A smile brought strangers close [Chorus] Buenos Aires, city at night Sound and light begin to dance We keep the travel beat alive Walking toward an unknown tomorrow Buenos Aires, gentle sweet breeze I fell in love with alfajores Dulce de leche melts away I want some more, I can’t stop [Verse 2] Mafalda’s little figure Caught my eye beside the street Her silent gaze beside my ear Softly touched the heart in me Living like a traveler with no job I took the clock right off my wrist As if I’d left my working days behind I tasted every moment there Drinking mate and laughing together Biting into something sweet In a corner of the city I held on to my freedom [Verse 3] Leaving Buenos Aires behind I take a flight toward the north The city fades beyond the window Rising slowly through the clouds Deep green stretches far below A river shines between the clouds I cannot see it yet But a sacred sound of water calls Iguazu Falls, white mist rising Pouring down and shaking the sky Known as one of the world’s great waterfalls Overwhelming power in every drop [Verse 4] Spray is dancing in the sky Thunder shakes the waiting ground I stand in silence, gazing out Lost inside the endless view Green trees and the flowing river Birdsong echoes far away The water keeps on winding down And time begins to drift away [Chorus] Iguazu, forest of water A waterfall that shakes the world Overwhelmed by all that power Even our hearts are swept away Iguazu, deep and green Breathing in the quiet air What we see is not the whole of it The forest has a tale to tell [Bridge] From the city’s sound to the forest’s song From sweet memories to rushing water The journey changes every view And changes something deep in us We keep the travel beat alive As we set sail for the next land Even these days of living free Will turn to treasures in the end [Final Chorus] Buenos Aires, city lights Mate and tango in the night Alfajores and dulce de leche Thank you for these sweet memories Iguazu Falls, the forest deep White mist rising through the air Mafalda’s quiet silhouette And this notebook in my hands [Outro] A new country waits beyond the ship The sunset colors the water gold Goodbye, Argentina I’ll come back to you someday From the city’s beat to the forest’s song Our journey carries on
