El Corrido Del Minero
Antonio Ortiz
The Miner's Ballad
For those things in life
I am an emerald hunter, I am a miner
I gamble my luck in life
Seeking fortune, seeking money
When I find a good vein
I thank God, I thank the sky
And I bless this land of dreams
Drinking aguardiente, I celebrate this prize
Long live Muzo, long live Pauna, long live Otanche, La Peña, and Borbon
Beautiful land of miners, the most
Beautiful thing in Boyaca
My passion is betting on cockfights
Having beautiful women and being a loyal friend
I go for the good
And for the bad, I pull the trigger
I'm a miner, I'm an emerald hunter
And I have friends over there in the mines
For some, I risk my skin
And if necessary, I risk my life
Long live Quivana, long live Coscues, Santa Barbara, Chivor, Maripi
Long live all
The miners
Noble people who walk around here
