El giro en el destino
A down hill, an up hill
A heart break, a band-aid for it
Long distance, but close hearts
New people, old forgotten friends
New routine, same traditions
Having a car, but no gasoline for it
A new haircut, but the same style
More money, but less time
Hard work, but burnt out
More opportunities, but less understanding
A new language, but the same emotions
An apartment, but no home
Pinatas without real candy
A nationality but not an identity
Peace but not peace
No violence, but discrimination
Company but loneliness
Loneliness but company
Immigration, oh dear immigration
El giro en el destino
