Carta a un Cuyano

I've wanted to write to you for a long time
To give you news from our land
I want to be with you
Talk about yesterday
And let you know I haven't forgotten you

Of the things I can tell you about
A destiny of song in the soul
With true countrymen
I've seen the sunrise
With the magic of the serenade

Friend of these lines
My affection goes to you
That's why I put them in a guitar case
If you remember me
Sing a song for me
Forgive the handwriting, I'm back from revelry

I've traveled like a kite
Soaring in the Cuyano skies
With a verse in my voice
From singer to singer
With the taste of harvest on my lips

I promise I'll come to visit you
To wander in the asphalt nights
With your moon of lime
The city in summer
Soaring a cogollo up high

My friend...
A very strong hug, I am your tonada.
