Yo Vengo de Donde Usted No Ha Ido
Yo vengo de donde usted no ha ido
Yo he visto las cosas que no ha visto
En mi patria al turista
Se le agrada la vista
Con las cosas bonitas
La venezuela rica
Pero a los cerros
Donde se rumia la miseria
Y se aleja la esperanza
Nadie los lleva
Les esconden con vergüenza
A la otra venezuela
La venezuela del pobre
La venezuela sin razón
Sin razón para que exista
Pero que existe señor
La verdad de venezuela
No se ve en el country club
La verdad se ve en los cerros
Con su gente y su inquietud
Venga, lo llevare de la mano
Allí vera a los niños
A esos niños terrosos
Que son niños venezolanos
Venga, antes de que usted se vaya
Subiremos a los cerros
Luego diremos con rabia
Que esta sufriendo mi pueblo
(recitado)
"venezuela fue tuya, recupérala"
Yo vengo de donde usté no ha ido
Yo he visto las cosas que no ha vista
Yo he visto a los hombres
De los que se dicen
"y que" tienen libertad
Mas cuando busco
La verdad de lo dicho
Concluyo diciendo
Que tienen, que tienen libertad
Libertad para sufrir
I come from where you haven't gone
I come from where you have not gone
I have seen things you have not seen
In my country to the tourist
You like the sight
with the pretty things
The rich Venezuela
But to the hills
Where misery ruminates
And hope fades away
Nobody wears them
They hide them with shame
To the other Venezuela
The poor man's Venezuela
Venezuela without reason
No reason for it to exist
But what exists, sir?
The truth of Venezuela
Not seen at the country club
The truth is seen in the hills
With its people and its concern
Come on, I'll take you by the hand
There you will see the children
To those earthy children
What are Venezuelan children?
Come on, before you go
We will climb the hills
Then we will say with rage
What is my people suffering?
(recitation)
"Venezuela was yours, get it back"
I come from where you have not gone
I have seen things you have not seen
I have seen the men
Of those that are said
"and that" they have freedom
But when I search
The truth of what was said
I conclude by saying
What do they have, what do they have freedom?
Freedom to suffer
