América
Me hueles a merengue y a bolero
A caña y a café
Me hueles a corrido y a charango
Carnavalito y miel
Me hueles a maracas y a guitarra
A gaucho solitario y a sabana
A piel morena y sal
Me hueles a canela y a bananas
Querida siempre y siempre maltratada
Soñando libertad
América, América
Me hueles a guayaba
A cordillera helada
A tierra verde
Y lluvia tropical
Me hueles a pradera
A eterna primavera
Me hueles a futuro y libertad
América, América
Me hueles a guayaba
A cordillera helada
A tierra verde
Y lluvia tropical
Me hueles a pradera
A eterna primavera
Me hueles a futuro y libertad
Me hueles a tabaco y a manises
A dátiles y a ron
Me hueles a emigrantes que se fueron
Cantando una canción
Me hueles a torrente y a quebrada
A sangre campesina derramada
Para tu libertad
Me hueles a mujer enamorada
Querida siempre y siempre abandonada
Soñando frente al mar
América, América
Me hueles a guayaba
A cordillera helada
A tierra verde
Y lluvia tropical
Me hueles a pradera
A eterna primavera
Me hueles a futuro y libertad
América, América
Me hueles a guayaba
A cordillera helada
A tierra verde
Y lluvia tropical
Me hueles a pradera
A eterna primavera
Me hueles a futuro y libertad
América, América
Me hueles a guayaba
A cordillera helada
A tierra verde
Y lluvia tropical
Me hueles a pradera
A eterna primavera
Me hueles a futuro y libertad
América, América
America
You smell like merengue and bolero
Sugar cane and coffee
You smell like corrido and charango
Carnavalito and honey
You smell like maracas and guitar
A lonely gaucho and savannah
Brown skin and salt
You smell like cinnamon and bananas
Always beloved and always mistreated
Dreaming of freedom
America, America
You smell like guava
Frozen mountain range
Green land
And tropical rain
You smell like prairie
Eternal spring
You smell like future and freedom
America, America
You smell like guava
Frozen mountain range
Green land
And tropical rain
You smell like prairie
Eternal spring
You smell like future and freedom
You smell like tobacco and manises
Dates and rum
You smell like emigrants who left
Singing a song
You smell like torrent and ravine
Peasant blood spilled
For your freedom
You smell like a woman in love
Always beloved and always abandoned
Dreaming by the sea
America, America
You smell like guava
Frozen mountain range
Green land
And tropical rain
You smell like prairie
Eternal spring
You smell like future and freedom
America, America
You smell like guava
Frozen mountain range
Green land
And tropical rain
You smell like prairie
Eternal spring
You smell like future and freedom
America, America
You smell like guava
Frozen mountain range
Green land
And tropical rain
You smell like prairie
Eternal spring
You smell like future and freedom
America, America
