Benditos Versos
Yo quise callá' unos versos, benditos versos
Y al final no pude resistirme
Porque la única morena de risa tierna
Mi poema se escondía en su pelo
Un día que de verte tanto
No supe entonces
Si eras mi amiga o si era una virgen
Y vi el café de tus ojos un momentico
Porque es que el Sol se moría de celos
Y no sé por qué la guajira
Se mete hasta el mar así
Como si pelear quisiera
Como engreída, como altanera
Como para que el mundo supiera
Que hay una princesa aquí
Tiene una belleza india, bonita es linda
De cuna noble
Premio del hombre que por fortuna
Tenga su trofeo en ti
Ay, pero Linda dime, al final tu callas
Por favor decime que guarda tu alma
Por favor decime que guarda tu alma
Que el lucero que está bien distante
Que alumbra bastante, que alumbra bastante
Que el lucero que está bien distante
Que alumbra bastante, que alumbra bastante
Flamea una falda coqueta, piernas perfectas
Porte de reina de trato fino
Y un cactus murió tranquilo en manos de un gringo
Porque el cerrejón le enamoraba
Dicen también que la noche pidió a la aurora
Que fuera cuidadosa contigo
Y un día que escucho este canto escrito en carbón
Allá en su región, dijo mi guitarra
Y no sé por qué la guajira
Se mete al océano así
Como si pelear quisiera
Como engreída, como altanera
Como si al mundo mostrar quisiera
Su morena angelical
Y es claro, tiene una estampa
De acento y casta
De gente buena
Mi Dios del cielo encarnó en ti, reina
A la Virgen del Pilar
Ay, morenita chévere
Cuántas cosas guardas
20 de noviembre
Por favor cuidala
20 de noviembre
Por favor cuidala
Y el lucero que está bien distante
Que alumbra bastante
Que alumbra bastante
Que el lucero que está bien distante
Que alumbra bastante, se aprecia bastante
Blessed Verses
I wanted to keep some verses, blessed verses
And in the end, I couldn't resist
Because the only dark-haired girl with a tender laugh
My poem hid in her hair
One day, from seeing you so much
I didn't know then
If you were my friend or if you were a virgin
And I saw the coffee of your eyes for a moment
Because the Sun was dying of jealousy
And I don't know why the country girl
Goes into the sea like that
As if she wanted to fight
As conceited, as haughty
As if to let the world know
That there's a princess here
She has an Indian beauty, pretty and lovely
Of noble birth
A prize for the man who luckily
Has his trophy in you
But Linda, tell me, in the end you keep quiet
Please tell me what your soul keeps
Please tell me what your soul keeps
That the star that is very distant
That shines quite a lot, that shines quite a lot
That the star that is very distant
That shines quite a lot, that shines quite a lot
A flirty skirt flutters, perfect legs
Queenly demeanor with fine manners
And a cactus died peacefully in the hands of a foreigner
Because Cerrejon captivated him
They also say that the night asked the dawn
To be careful with you
And one day when I hear this song written in coal
There in its region, my guitar said
And I don't know why the country girl
Goes into the ocean like that
As if she wanted to fight
As conceited, as haughty
As if she wanted to show the world
Her angelic dark-haired girl
And it's clear, she has a stamp
Of accent and lineage
Of good people
My God in heaven embodied in you, queen
To the Virgin of El Pilar
Oh, cool dark-haired girl
How many things you keep
November 20th
Please take care of her
November 20th
Please take care of her
And the star that is very distant
That shines quite a lot
That shines quite a lot
That the star that is very distant
That shines quite a lot, is greatly appreciated
