Maria Lionza
In the Sorte Mountain by Yaracuy
In Venezuela lives a goddess
In the Sorte Mountain by Yaracuy lives a goddess
A noble queen of great beauty and great kindness
Beloved by nature and illuminated by charity
And its walls are made of winds
And its roof made of stars
The moon, the sun, the sky, and the mountain are her companions
The rivers, streams, and flowers are her messengers
Hail Queen Maria Lionza
For Venezuela she goes with her ounce and watches over
And she watches over her entire land from Guajiro to Cumana
She guards the fate of the Latinos to live united and in freedom
In the Sorte Mountain by Yaracuy
In Venezuela!
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
A bouquet of flowers, white flowers like the purity of your kindness
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
To all the people in the hills in Caracas protect them
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
Lady Maria, no matter the cost, to the east highway I will take you
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
And she watches over her Venezuela from Guajiro to Cumana
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
It was by the Guanaguanare River that Coromoto saw her shine
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
She is the queen that the people adore, she is the most popular goddess
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
Flowers for your altar Lady Maria I will bring you
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
With tobacco and aguardiente the ceremony is about to begin
Maria Lionza, grant me a little miracle and a bouquet of flowers I will bring you
We say goodbye with a greeting from Puerto Rico and Panama
