Feria De Manizales

Faithful source of nobilityFiel surtidor de hidalguia
Manizales, noisyManizales rumorosa
Under your rose-colored skyBajo tu cielo de rosa
The wind sings its joyCanta el viento su alegria

So sweet is the tyrannyTan dulce es la tirania
Of your illustrious beautyDe tu belleza preclara
That before I loved youQue antes de que yo te amara
My heart wanted youMi corazón te queria

Oh Manizales of the soulAy manizales del alma
Oh Manizales of dreams!Ay manizales de ensueño!
With the sapphires of dawnCon los zafiros del alba
My dream embroiders its offeringBorda su ofrenda mi ensueño

Oh silver Manizales!Ay manizales de plata!
Oh Manizales of ermine!Ay manizales de armiño!
Adorn your mother-of-pearl neckPrende a tu cuello de nacar
With the necklace of my affection!El collar de mi cariño!

Bull of pain and deviationToro de pena y desvio
On the resounding bullringSobre el redondel sonoro
The carts of dewFingen caracolas de oro
Pretend to be golden conchesLas carretas del rocio

The whole fair is a riverToda la feria es un rio
Of joy and liliesDe jubilo y azucena
And the sun ends its workY el sol cierra su faena
With summer banderillasCon banderillas de estio
