[edit] Lyrics
- Yo nací en esta ribera
- del Arauca vibrador
- soy hermano de la espuma,
- de las garzas, de las rosas
- y del sol.
- Me arrulló la viva diana
- de la brisa en el palmar
- y por eso tengo el alma
- como el alma primorosa
- del cristal.
- Amo, lloro, canto, sueño
- con claveles de pasión
- Amo, lloro, canto, sueño
- para ornar las rubias crines
- del potro de mi amador
- Yo nací en esta ribera
- del Arauca vibrador
- soy hermano de la espuma
- de las garzas, de las rosas
- y del sol
literal translation:
- I was born in this shore
- of the vibrant Arauca
- I am brother of the sea foam
- of the herons, of the roses
- and of the sun.
- I was lulled by the lively reveille
- of the breeze in the palm trees
- and that is why I have the soul
- like the delicate soul
- of the crystal.
- I love, I cry, I sing, I dream
- with carnations of passion
- I love, I cry, I sing, I dream
- to ornate the fair mane
- from the horse of my lover
- I was born in this shore
- of the vibrant Arauca
- I am brother of the foam
- of the herons, of the roses
- and of the sun.
