Claveles Mendocinos
Cantares de La Cañadita
Mendocino Carnations
From the Cuyo mountains are the most fragrant carnations, why is that?
They unite with their scents; ties of love and lovers, how great it is!
That's why in Mendoza; all its mountains, my beautiful land Florida is
And it's the Cuyo woman who adorns herself with her carnations until getting drunk
Carnation of love white flower, damn! Lara la laira
And it's the Cuyo woman who adorns herself with her carnations until getting drunk
Good and divine Cuyo maiden
Long live Mendoza, why is that?
Far from my land I want its mountains
With its carnations until getting drunk
I will always sing to you as long as I live
Beloved land, land of love
Where the people of Mendoza sing reveille
To their Cuyo lilies in bloom
You see beloved Mendoza, I don't forget you
Beloved land, you will always be
Spreading flowers, with its carnations
Singing its traditions
Dear women of Mendoza, divine countrywomen
With their carnations and my song
By offering them my life, I heal the wound
That keeps bleeding my heart
Carnation of love white flower, damn! Lara la laira
By offering them my life, I heal the wound
That keeps bleeding my heart
