A La Colonia Tovar

On top of a mountain in an exquisite place
There's a hospitable town that everyone visits
That town is close to you where the moon shines the brightest
Where the sun is nearby
Where the land is cultivated, where men are gentlemen and women are beautiful
What's the name of that town that conquers my heart?
I'll tell you, tighten up, master harpist
So the restless maraca player can be heard in despair with the master cuatro player
So they can hear, it's the Tovar Colony, to me it's a blessed land

I'm very much in love with the Tovar Colony
How could I not love it if its people are special?
That's why this serenade with harp, cuatro, maracas, and my sentimental voice
Music from Venezuela as the colonist likes it so they can dance
The children in the colony go to school early
And when they return from classes, they put them to work
That's why these kids don't go to waste, they know how to prepare
Cheers to the old colonists for that personal gift

You arrive through Junquito if you're coming from the capital
Through Aragua is La Victoria, the route you should take
You enter through Carayaca enjoying the journey if you're coming from the coast
And also through El Jarillo road via San Pedro, what more can I explain?
Their women are beautiful like a malavar flower
Their cheeks are rosy with crystal eyes
Their bodies are like sirens and their mouths are sweeter than sugarcane
This song is for you to dance, my queen, I'm stuck on you
