My Homeland That I Don't Forget

Los Manseros Santiagueños

Mi Pago Que No Te Olvido

Qué lindo es volver al pago
Al pago donde he nacido
Decirte como te quiero
Mi pago que no te olvido

De solo nombrarte lejos
Mi corazón se estremece
Mi pecho se vuelve bombo
Y quiero volver a verte

El Sol quemaba a la tarde
Jugando dentro mis años
Alumbrándome la infancia
Por las calles de santiago

Qué lindo es volver al pago
Al pago donde he nacido
Decirte como te quiero
Mi pago que no te olvido

El oro de tus arenas
Barrancas y costaneras
Verdes parques; eucaliptos
Chañares, caña y palmeras

El pan del horno a la siesta
Mate, cedrón, yerba buena
Y la pavita esperando
En el humito de leña

Son cosas que en mi alma llevo
Y que día a día siento
Aromas de mi pasado
De noches, Luna y poleo

Qué lindo es volver al pago
Al pago donde he nacido
Decirte como te quiero
Mi pago que no te olvido

My Homeland That I Don't Forget

How beautiful it is to return to my homeland
To the homeland where I was born
To tell you how much I love you
My homeland that I don't forget

Just by mentioning you from afar
My heart trembles
My chest beats like a drum
And I want to see you again

The sun burned in the afternoon
Playing in my childhood years
Illuminating my infancy
Through the streets of Santiago

How beautiful it is to return to my homeland
To the homeland where I was born
To tell you how much I love you
My homeland that I don't forget

The gold of your sands
Cliffs and waterfronts
Green parks; eucalyptus
Chañares, sugarcane, and palm trees

The bread from the oven in the siesta
Mate, cedron, good herb
And the turkey waiting
In the smoke of firewood

These are things that I carry in my soul
And that I feel day by day
Aromas of my past
Of nights, moon, and mint

How beautiful it is to return to my homeland
To the homeland where I was born
To tell you how much I love you
My homeland that I don't forget
