Mi Nostalgia

Maracaibo beloved land
Since I left you
Every moment I long for you
I spend my time
Thinking of you

And in me there's hope
That I will return to you
That's why I spend
Singing always to forget

December has returned
Looks festive
And the wind plays
Singing gaitas

And this nostalgia
That kills my soul
Fulfills my longing to return
I go to meet
A gaitero bard

Who arrived yesterday from my old home
Tell me about Maracaibo
Tell me about Maracaibo

Sing a gaita, gaitero
Sing because I want
Dear friend
To sing with you so as not to cry

Another year dies and I'm distant
From my old and my home
What a heartbreaking pain
Steals my soul without rest
And a delirious longing
To see you, my hometown
Haunt me every moment
And like a child I start to cry

December has returned
Looks festive
And the wind plays
Singing gaitas

And this nostalgia
That kills my soul
Fulfills my longing to return
I go to meet
A gaitero bard
Who arrived yesterday from my old home
Tell me about Maracaibo
Tell me about Maracaibo

Sing a gaita, gaitero
Sing because I want
Dear friend
To sing with you so as not to cry

Maracaibo, if perhaps
I can't return to you
Your image in my lap
My old home will remain eternal
And on the threshold of my twilight
Tired of wandering
I turn my arms into wings
And I will land on your ground

December has returned
Looks festive
And the wind plays
Singing gaitas

And this nostalgia
That kills my soul
Fulfills my longing to return
I go to meet
A gaitero bard

Who arrived yesterday from my old home
Tell me about Maracaibo
Tell me about Maracaibo

Sing a gaita, gaitero
Sing because I want
Dear friend
To sing with you so as not to cry
