Sierra Nevada

Sierra Nevada

Sierra Nevada

In my beloved landEn mi merida gentil
When dawn beginsCuando empieza a amanecer
The whiteness of the snowLa blancura de la nieve
In the sierra is already seenEn la sierra ya se ve

And the cotton cloudsY las nubes de algodón
As they pass byAl pasar
Will leave a trail of nostalgiaUna estela de nostalgia
On the hillPor el cerro dejaran

White and blue, the peak is seen over thereBlanco y azul, el pico se ve alla
And a cold veil already covers the summitY un frio tul, la cima cubre ya
The frailejon and the coffee flowerEl frailejon y la flor del cafe
Speak to me of you, of you lovely womanMe hablan de ti, de ti linda mujer

As the gray evening fallsAl caer la tarde gris
The summit is no longer visibleLa cumbre no se ve mas
And the stars appearY aparecen las estrellas
Twinkling incessantlyTitilando sin cesar

I think of the bright starsPienso en los luceros
In your gazeDe tu mirar
Black eyes that sparkleOjos negros que destellan
In the cold darknessEn la fria oscuridad

You are a woman, from my native AndesEres mujer, de mis andes natal
Faithful orchid, perfuming the homeOrquidea fiel, que perfuma el hogar
Your face is, of wax and glassTu rostro es, de cera y de cristal
You have a blush, angelic blushTienes rubor, rubor angelical
