Alma llanera [English translation]

I

I was born on this riverbank

Of the rippling Arauca**

I'm a brother of the foam

Of the herons, of the roses

I'm a brother of the foam

Of the herons, of the roses

And of the sun, and of the sun

INSTRUMENTAL

I

Was lulled by the lively reveille

Of the breeze in the palm grove

And therefore I have the spirit

Like the exquisite soul

And therefore I have the spirit

Like the exquisite soul

of the crystal, of the crystal

I love, I cry, I sing, I dream

With carnations of passion

With carnations of passion

For adorning the blond mane

Of my lover's colt

I was born on this riverbank

Of the rippling Arauca

I'm a brother of the foam

Of the herons, of the roses

And of the sun

INSTRUMENTAL

I

Was lulled to sleep by the lively reveille

Of the breeze in the palm grove

And therefore I have the spirit

Like the exquisite soul

And therefore I have the spirit

Like the exquisite soul

of the crystal, of the crystal

I love, I cry, I sing, I dream

With carnations of passion

With carnations of passion

For adorning the blond mane

Of my lover's colt

I was born on this riverbank

Of the rippling Arauca

I'm a brother of the foam

Of the herons, of the roses

And of the sun
