Añoranzas

Goodbye, plains breeze
Scented with mastranto
Goodbye summer heron
Little path and white lily

Goodbye traveling foam
Give a hug to the backwater
Savannah Paraulata
You know of my pain

Breakup because tomorrow
I'm leaving very early
I'm leaving for I don't know where
And I will be there, I don't know when

Carrying in my heart
Creole things from the countryside
The milker's song
Early in the morning and barefoot
Immersed in tenacity
Of the smell of cattle and grass

I'm leaving because I need to
Put your name very high
In the east and in the center
The Andes, land of enchantment

Over there in Catatumbo
Where the lightning can be seen
But I swear to you my plain
On my knees for God's sake
Even if I go far away
I will not tear you from my chest

And I will return to my plain
To my world and my ranch
Let's play with the dew
And to give you my song

I miss the whistle a lot
Far from the cachilapo
I long for the mountain and the river
And the capybara in the ravine

I cross your paths again
Step by step on my colt
Your lagoons, your estuaries
Your chaparrals and the bank

Hearing in the distance
The litany of the tautaco
At the expense of the deer
From time to time he jumps
Fleeing from the hunter
What a wicked little animal!

I will return because it calls me
The herd corral
And there in the stable
The rope in the doodle
The Campeche Palenque

And the jar in the yard
The little doodles shout at me
Like intact memories
I return to my beloved plain
So as not to drown in tears
