El amor de mi tierra [English translation]

To love you with that madness

land (2X).

I shall gift you with the moon in a kiss

I shall caress you under the cold of the sierra (2x)

And I shall give you a night

of verses and lights

as is my own night

The shell of kisses

from which I drink by sips

your love and your poetry

I want you to carry with you this life of mine

I want you to be filled with the love of my land

I want you to carry with you this life of mine

I have you tied of the love of my land (2x)

So I can gift you with the smell of the fields

that only has the flower of my land (2x)

I shall steal from you in secret the night

I shall be yours forever, mi negra*(2x)

I shall be the fresh breeze

that plays in your skirts

and a sun of midday

The water, the current

the music you sing

And I shall give you a night

of cumbias** and lights

as is this night of mine

The shell of kisses

from which I drink in sips

your love and your poetry

I want you to carry with you this life of mine

I want you to be filled with the love of my land

I want you to carry with you this life of mine

I have you tied of the love of my land (2x)

*mi negra= endearment to a woman of dark skin.
