Veracruz

I was born in the silver moonYo nací con la Luna de plata
I was born with a pirate's soulNací con alma de pirata
I've been born a rumba-man and VeracruzanianHe nacido rumbero y jarocho
A real troubadourTrovador de veras
And I headed out of VeracruzY me fui lejos de Veracruz

Veracruz, lil' cornerVeracruz, rinconcito
Where the sea weavesDonde hacen su nido
Make their homeLas olas del mar
Veracruz, lil' frameVeracruz, pedacito
Of fatherland, knows how to suffer and cryDe patria que sabe sufrir y cantar

Veracruz, your nights areVeracruz, son tus noches
Stars flood, palm trees and womenDiluvio de estrellas, palmera y mujer
Veracruz, it thrills up my beingVeracruz, vibra en mi ser
Till your faraway beachesAlgún día hasta tus playas lejanas
I'll have to go back one dayTendré que volver
