Veracruz

I was born in the silver moon Yo nací con la Luna de plata I was born with a pirate's soul Nací con alma de pirata I've been born a rumba-man and Veracruzanian He nacido rumbero y jarocho A real troubadour Trovador de veras And I headed out of Veracruz Y me fui lejos de Veracruz

Veracruz, lil' corner Veracruz, rinconcito Where the sea weaves Donde hacen su nido Make their home Las olas del mar Veracruz, lil' frame Veracruz, pedacito Of fatherland, knows how to suffer and cry De patria que sabe sufrir y cantar

Veracruz, your nights are Veracruz, son tus noches Stars flood, palm trees and women Diluvio de estrellas, palmera y mujer Veracruz, it thrills up my being Veracruz, vibra en mi ser Till your faraway beaches Algún día hasta tus playas lejanas I'll have to go back one day Tendré que volver
