A Monteros

She loves it when everyone calls her name
With a guitar and a drum that beats like thunder
She loves it when they sing her praises
That's why my song calls you Monteros
She loves it when they sing her praises
That's why my song calls you Monteros

She saw me like a monkey just watching
The warm heart of iron, so tender

She loves it when the reeds dress her in green
That's why I name you in my song Monteros
She loves it when the reeds dress her in green
That's why I name you in my song Monteros
And sweeter than your sugarcane
Are the girls that live in your town

I know that through your sugary veins awakens
All the joy, my lovely Monteros

Lara lara larair lai lai
All the joy, my lovely Monteros

She caught the poet's eye in the morning
Humming tunes of wine and laughter
And left in her sky a beautiful rose
That's why my song calls you Monteros
And left in her sky a beautiful rose
That's why my song calls you Monteros

She asks the crickets in November
For the song of the sugarcane worker once more

She loves it when the reeds dress her in green
That's why I name you in my song Monteros
She loves it when the reeds dress her in green
That's why I name you in my song Monteros
And sweeter than your sugarcane
Are the girls that live in your town

I know that through your sugary veins awakens
All the joy, my lovely Monteros
Lara lara larai larai lai lai
All the joy, my lovely Monteros
