Veracruz

Veracruz

I was born under the silver moonYo nací con la luna de plata
And I was born with a pirate soulY nací con alma de pirata
I was born a partygoer, a jarochoHe nacido rumbero, jarocho
A true troubadourTrovador de veras
And I went far from VeracruzY me fui lejos de Veracruz

Veracruz, little cornerVeracruz, rinconcito
Where the waves of the seaDonde hacen su nido
Make their nestLas olas del mar

Veracruz, pieceVeracruz, pedacito
Of homeland that knowsDe patria que sabe
How to suffer and singSufrir y cantar

Veracruz, your nightsVeracruz, son tus noches
Flood of starsDiluvio de estrellas
Palm tree and womanPalmera y mujer

Veracruz, vibrates in my beingVeracruz, vibra en mi ser
Someday evenAlgún día hasta
To your distant beachesTus playas lejanas
I will have to returnTendré que volver

Veracruz, your nightsVeracruz, son tus noches
Flood of starsDiluvio de estrellas
Palm tree and womanPalmera y mujer

Veracruz, vibrates in my beingVeracruz, vibra en mi ser
Someday evenAlgún día hasta
To your distant beachesTus playas lejanas
I will have to returnTendré que volver
