El Amor De Mi Tierra
Carlos Vives
The Love of My Land
To adore you with that madness
That only the love of my land has.
To adore you with that madness
That only the love of my land has.
I will give you the moon in a kiss.
I will caress you under the cold of the mountains.
I will give you the moon in a kiss.
I will caress you under the cold of the mountains.
And I will give you a night
Of verses and stars
As my night is.
The shell of kisses
From where I sip
Your love and your poetry.
I want you to carry my life within you.
I want you to be filled with the love of my land.
I want you to carry my life within you.
That I have tied to the love of my land.
For giving you the scent of the fields
That only the flower of my land has.
For giving you the scent of the fields
That only the flower of my land has.
I will steal the night from you in secret.
I will be yours forever, my black woman.
I will steal the night from you in secret.
I will be yours forever, my black woman. I will be the fresh breeze
That plays among your skirts
And a midday sun.
The water, the stream,
The music you sing
When you become mine.
And I will give you a night
Of cumbias and stars
As my night is.
The shell of kisses
From where I sip
Your love and your poetry.
I want you to carry my life within you.
I want you to be filled with the love of my land.
I want you to carry my life within you.
That I have tied to the love of my land.
