Semblanzas

Like a reflection of the moon, the atrato is born in the cliffs
And in the fury of its waters, there are songs of ancestors
And the San Juan and the Baudo, trembling, head to the Pacific
And two seas bathe you, homeland, in an unparalleled swell

And the Humboldt current caresses
Jurado on the border
Negua, cradle of the utria, Novita dreams of its past
That in the Atlantic, Acandi, Capurgana, Sapzurro, a paradise of beauties

And on a land of precious metals
Istmina, Andagoya, and Condoto
And up there on the mountain, El Carmen de Atrato
Lloro, La Vuelta, Tado, and Bagado in a single embrace

Bahia Solano, Pizarro, and Nuqui in a sea of corals
And there in Utria, the whales sing
And it can be heard all the way to the valley

Here we were born in this land of sun and rain
That brotherhood that makes us family and knows no doubt
A feeling that runs in our blood and seems like a council

How much we miss this divine town
When one is far away
San Pancho blessed

And Quibdo, noble and stately, a town of longing
Your corners sing a tune on guitar nights
Pie de Pato, San Jose del Palmar, Rio Sucio, and Unguia
Distant Sipi and also Bojaya. This land is mine

How can I deny you if I deny you, I deny my existence
How can I forget you if I forget you, I forget my essence
I love you like this, just as you are, homeland, I love you
There are no doubts that for you, little town, I go all in

United all the niches hear in a single fist
(Then I go all in for you, for you I go all in, homeland)
What talent and beauty is the inheritance of my land to the people

Here I was born, here I grew up, and here my dreams were forged

I am Chocoan, gentlemen
(See, see) with pride and honors
(To the town) this land is blessed
(See, see) this land is of loves

It brightens hearts
(See, see) and it is missed
(To the town) here my wings grew
(See, see) to soar

On a moonlit night
(See, see) in a council of elders
(To the town) playing in the street
(See, see) in the downpour

For the little yesquita

Never forget
(See, see) your land and your people
(To the town) those are values
(See, see) that are carried forward

Don't ask what your land can do for you
But what you can do for your land
