Feria De Manizales
Fiel surtidor de hidalguia
Manizales rumorosa
Bajo tu cielo de rosa
Canta el viento su alegria
Tan dulce es la tirania
De tu belleza preclara
Que antes de que yo te amara
Mi corazón te queria
Ay manizales del alma
Ay manizales de ensueño!
Con los zafiros del alba
Borda su ofrenda mi ensueño
Ay manizales de plata!
Ay manizales de armiño!
Prende a tu cuello de nacar
El collar de mi cariño!
Toro de pena y desvio
Sobre el redondel sonoro
Fingen caracolas de oro
Las carretas del rocio
Toda la feria es un rio
De jubilo y azucena
Y el sol cierra su faena
Con banderillas de estio
Manizales Fair
Faithful source of nobility
Manizales, noisy
Under your rose-colored sky
The wind sings its joy
So sweet is the tyranny
Of your illustrious beauty
That before I loved you
My heart wanted you
Oh Manizales of the soul
Oh Manizales of dreams!
With the sapphires of dawn
My dream embroiders its offering
Oh silver Manizales!
Oh Manizales of ermine!
Adorn your mother-of-pearl neck
With the necklace of my affection!
Bull of pain and deviation
On the resounding bullring
The carts of dew
Pretend to be golden conches
The whole fair is a river
Of joy and lilies
And the sun ends its work
With summer banderillas
