Romance de Plumas Verdes
Horacio Guarani
Green Feathers Romance
You know my ranch of green feathers is in Luján
Nest of hummingbirds, full of honey and flowers
When it doesn't rain anymore, rainbow of a thousand colors
They are born next to the pepper tree and get lost in the walnut trees
Because it's my green feathers
Little morning star
Where my heart
Has finally found peace
Because it's my green feathers
Little morning star
Where my heart
Has finally found peace
When spring peeks through the brooms
Calandrias, benteveos, thrushes from branch to branch
The doves get angry, they leave towards the hill
And there among the fruit trees they announce warmth and aroma
Because it's my green feathers
Little morning star
Where my heart
Has finally found peace
You know the virgin they adore is in Luján
Thousands of devotees who come, pray, and cry
As I am somewhat wild, I watch her from my nest
And when no one sees me, I also ask her for my wishes
Because it's my green feathers
Where I have my nest
Where I want to live
All my life with you!
On the banks of the Luján River, the one that man hurts
I usually ask the virgin to punish those who kill it
As I am somewhat wild, she doesn't listen to my pleas
Or maybe it's because I've lived under this sky for a short time
But it's my green feathers
Where I have my nest
Where I want to live
All my life with you
All my life with you
All my life with you
