El rock de mi pueblo
Carlos Vives
The Rock of My Town
It runs through my whole body and something pushes me to sing,
It's a song from the mountain and the seashore,
It's the echo of a pain that wants to be forgotten,
The prayer of Magdalena that woke up the city...
It's more like magic that infects me since I can remember,
Girl, my whole life, saint of my devotion,
I'm just a little boy vibrating in your heart,
An old man from down the river singing the tradition...
Chorus...
This is the rock of my town, that gets into my head, that reaches my thoughts,
This is the rock, the rock, the rock, the rock, of my town,
What I would like to hear with its joyful movement...
It runs through my whole body and now it wants to escape,
It embraces my friends and invites them to dance,
And forgets about the sorrows and becomes a hurricane,
And reaches the stars overcoming loneliness...
It's more like magic that infects me since I can remember,
Colombia, my whole life, saint of my devotion,
I'm just a boy playing your Rock and Roll,
An old man from down the river singing the tradition...
Chorus...
This is the rock of my town, that gets into my head, that reaches my thoughts,
This is the rock, the rock, the rock, the rock, of my town,
What I would like to hear with its joyful movement...
