De mi tierra bella 00:19
De mi tierra santa 00:22
Oigo ese grito de los tambores 00:24
Y los timbales al cumbanchar 00:27
Y ese pregón que canta un hermano 00:31
Que de su tierra vive lejano 00:33
Y que el recuerdo le hace llorar 00:35
Una canción que vive entonando 00:38
De su dolor, de su propio llanto 00:40
Y se le escucha penar 00:43
La tierra te duele 00:48
La tierra te da 00:50
En medio del alma cuando tú no estás 00:53
La tierra te empuja 00:57
De raíz y cal 01:00
La tierra suspira si no te ve más 01:02
La tierra donde naciste 01:07
No la puedes olvidar 01:09
Porque tiene tus raíces 01:12
Y lo que dejas atrás 01:14
La tierra te duele 01:17
La tierra te da 01:19
En medio del alma cuando tú no estás 01:21
Siguen los pregones 01:27
La melancolía 01:29
Y cada noche junto a la luna 01:32
Sigue el guajiro entonando el son 01:34
Y cada calle que va a mi pueblo 01:38
Tiene un quejido, tiene un lamento 01:41
Tiene nostalgia como su voz 01:43
Esa canción que sigue entonando 01:46
Corre en la sangre y sigue llegando 01:48
Con más fuerza al corazón 01:51
La tierra te duele 01:56
La tierra te da 01:58
En medio del alma cuando tú no estás 02:00
La tierra te empuja 02:05
De raíz y cal 02:07
La tierra suspira si no te ve más 02:10

[English]
From my beautiful land
From my holy land
I hear that cry of the drums
And the timbales in the cumbanchar
And that announcement sung by a brother
Who lives far from his land
And the memory makes him cry
A song that keeps singing
Of his pain, of his own weeping
And you can hear him lament
The land hurts you
The land gives you
In the middle of the soul when you are not here
The land pushes you
From root and lime
The land sighs if it doesn't see you anymore
The land where you were born
You cannot forget it
Because it has your roots
And what you leave behind
The land hurts you
The land gives you
In the middle of the soul when you are not here
The announcements continue
The melancholy
And every night by the moon
The guajiro keeps singing the son
And every street that leads to my town
Has a moan, has a lament
Has nostalgia like its voice
That song that keeps singing
Runs in the blood and keeps coming
With more strength to the heart
The land hurts you
The land gives you
In the middle of the soul when you are not here
The land pushes you
From root and lime
The land sighs if it doesn't see you anymore
...
Has a moan (my land), has a lament (my land)
I never forget it (my land), I carry it in my feelings, yes, sir!
I hear that cry (my land), the memory lives (my land)
Runs in my blood (my land), I carry it inside, how could I not?
Song of my beautiful and holy land, I suffer that pain that is in its soul
Even if I am far away, I feel it, and one day I will return, I know it
...
The announcements continue (my land)
The melancholy (my land)
Every night by the moon
The guajiro keeps singing the son (my land)
And every street that leads to my town (my land)
Has a moan, has a lament (my land)
The nostalgia of its voice (my land)
Reaches me with strength to the heart
The land hurts you
The land gives you
In the middle of the soul when you are not here
The land pushes you
From root and lime
The land sighs if it doesn't see you anymore
