La Canción de Luis Mariano

With the shine of a ripe apple
and the smell of guava
the song of Luis Mariano
is a song between two waters
between the water of his sea
and the coconut grove of the beach.

Greenery of paths
edge of savannah
bordering the soul
the song of Luis Mariano
buried me in my own land

Greenery of paths
mineral and human
drizzling songs
in the voice of Sevillano

It's tender like the hands
of my grandma in her prayer
the song of Luis Mariano
is a song of hope
so that my town becomes a fish
breaking free from the nets

Greenery of paths
edge of savannah
bordering the soul
the song of Luis Mariano
buried me in my own land
