Canción de La Rosa Blanca (Zamba)
Ruben Alberto Benegas
Song of the White Rose (Zamba)
My old town when I think of you
And I start to dream
My eyes get cloudy, wanting to cry
And my soul, without meaning to, starts to sing
Then I return, to your landscapes
To your hills I go
A restless sparrow comes to greet me
Flying over a sky, of blooming thistles
(Chorus)
The white rose of your name, mother
Brings me its scent, then it fades away
My eyes get cloudy, wanting to cry
And my soul, without meaning to, starts to sing
Carnation of the air, spring of flowers
Over the gray gravel
Green clover fields, and way over there
The echo mocks me as I sing
And already at the peak of my mountain
Where a cross stands tall
The spirit of the air spills its light
And the green is greener, the blue is bluer
