Homenaje a Yeison Jimenez

From Manzanares to the sky he wentDesde Manzanares pa'l cielo se fue
With his voice intact and his mark as wellCon su voz intacta y su huella también
He sang El Aventurero and the town saw himCantó El Aventurero y el pueblo lo vio
Today Colombia cries because a great one has leftHoy llora Colombia porque un grande partió

From farm to farm, from bar to barDe finca en finca, de bar en bar
He left a thousand stories hard to forgetDejó mil historias difíciles de olvidar
Envy spoke, but couldn't put outLa envidia habló, pero no pudo apagar
A legend that I will never forgetUna leyenda que nunca he de olvidar

And his song rings out, pure and sincereY suena su canto, puro y sincero
Voice of the people, of the warrior manVoz del pueblo, del hombre guerrero
Yeison Jiménez, a true exampleYeison Jiménez, ejemplo entero
That's why Colombia says to you: I love youPor eso Colombia te dice: Te quiero

Singing: Because envy made it clear who he isCantando: Por qué la envidia dejó claro quién es
The one who comes from the bottom is worth tenEl que viene de abajo vale por diez

And you left never to returnY te fuiste pa no volver

He doesn't flaunt jewels, he boasts the giftNo presume joyas, presume el don
Of singing truths with his heartDe cantar verdades con el corazón
From Corabastos, the kid from the avocadosDe corabastos el niño de los aguacates
He carries the pride of the workerDeja el orgullo del trabajador

And his song rings out, pure and sincereY suena su canto, puro y sincero
Voice of the people, of the warrior manVoz del pueblo, del hombre guerrero

Long live the man who never changedQue viva el hombre que nunca cambió
His farms, his horses, he achieved it allSus fincas sus caballos todo lo logró
Today Colombia cries for the fighting kidHoy llora Colombia al niño luchador
Who sang of heartbreak and also of loveQue le canto al despecho y también al amor
With all his heartCon el corazón

And his song rings out, pure and sincereY suena su canto, puro y sincero
Voice of the people, of the honest manVoz del pueblo, del hombre sincero
