Mendocino Carnations
From the Cuyo mountains
Are the most fragrant carnations, why is that?
They unite with their scents
Bonds of love, of lovers, how good it is!
Carnation of love
White flower Huija, laira, laraira
It is the Cuyo woman who adorns herself
With her carnations until intoxicating
Good and divine woman
Beautiful Cuyo woman alive Mendoza, why is that?
Far from my land
I want your mountains with your carnations until crying
Carnation of love
White flower Huija, laira, laraira
Where the people of Mendoza sing dianas to my countrywomen
Lilies in bloom
You see beloved Mendoza, I do not forget you
Beloved land you will always be
Spreading flowers
With your carnations, your traditions singing
Carnation and love
White flower Huija, laira, laraira
By offering them my life I close the wound
I carry bleeding in my heart
