Lyrics

Por los caminos de Aragua
y a las cuatro de la mañana
se oye una punta 'e ganao
que viene desde la sabana.
El puntero encapotao
cantando la va llevando,
porque hasta el buey
se lo entiende
si se lo dice cantando.
Se oye cantar un gallito
en el corral de la vecina
y ya saben los que duermen
que la aurora se aproxima.
El chorrito de la pila
goteando está joropeando,
¡Qué bonito que en mi tierra,
se amanece ya cantando!
La lavandera en el río
y el jardinero regando,
el albañil en su andamio,
todos cantan trabajando.
Los muchachos de mi pueblo
todo el día andan silbando,
ya por el mundo se dice:
Venezuela habla cantando.
El que nace en Venezuela
ya lo vamos preparando
al decir venezolano
ya lo dice uno cantando.
El secreto, compañero,
es algo muy personal:
que arrullamos a los niños
con el Himno Nacional.

Lyrics translation

By the roads of Aragua
and at four in the morning
you hear a tip ' e ganao
coming from the Savannah.
The capotao pointer
singing is taking her,
because even the Ox
you understand
if you tell him by singing.
You can hear a rooster singing
in the neighbor's corral
and you know those who sleep
the dawn is approaching.
The splash of the pile
dripping is humping,
How beautiful in my land,
it's Dawn already singing!
The Laundress on the river
and the gardener watering,
the bricklayer in his scaffold,
everyone sings at work.
The boys of my village
they're whistling all day,
already the world says:
Venezuela speaks singing.
The one born in Venezuela
we are already preparing it
by saying Venezuelan
one says it by singing.
The secret, mate,
it's very personal.:
that we lulled the children
with the National Anthem.
