Lyrics
Con ansias constantes de cielos lejanos…
Alma criolla, errante y viajera,
Querer detenerla es una quimera.
Golondrinas con fiebre en las alas,
Peregrinas borrachas de emocin…
Siempre suea con otros caminos
La brujula loca de tu corazn.
Criollita de mi pueblo, pebeta de mi barrio,
La golondrina un dia su vuelo detendra;
No habra nube en sus ojos de vagas lejanias
Y en tus brazos amantes su nido construira.
Su anhelo de distancias se aquietara en tu boca
Con la dulce fragancia de tu viejo querer…
Criollita de mi pueblo, pebeta de mi barrio,
Con las alas plegadas tambin yo he de volver.
En tus rutas que cruzan los mares
Florece una estela azul de cantares
Y al conjuro de nuevos paisajes
Suena intensamente tu claro cordaje.
Con tu dulce sembrar de armonias
Tierras lejanas te vieron pasar;
Otras lunas siguieron tus huellas,
Tu solo destino es siempre volar.
Lyrics translation
With constant longing for Distant Skies…
Soul Creole, wandering and traveling,
Wanting to stop her is a chimera.
Swallows with fever on the wings,
Emocin rubber pilgrims…
Always dreams of other paths
The Mad Witch of your heart.
Criollita of my village, pebeta of my neighborhood,
The swallow one day its flight will stop;
There will be no cloud in his eyes of distant vagaries
And in your loving arms his nest will build.
His longing for distances will quiet down in your mouth
With the sweet fragrance of your old love…
Criollita of my village, pebeta of my neighborhood,
With the wings folded I too must return.
On your routes across the seas
A blue trail of singing blooms
And the spell of new landscapes
Play your clear string intensely.
With your sweet sowing of harmony
Distant lands saw you pass by;
Other moons followed in your footsteps,
Your only destiny is always to fly.
