América

America

You smell like merengue and bolero
Sugar cane and coffee
You smell like corrido and charango
Carnavalito and honey

You smell like maracas and guitar
A lonely gaucho and savannah
Brown skin and salt

You smell like cinnamon and bananas
Always beloved and always mistreated
Dreaming of freedom

America, America
You smell like guava
Frozen mountain range
Green land
And tropical rain
You smell like prairie
And eternal spring
You smell like future and freedom

America, America
You smell like guava
Frozen mountain range
Green land
And tropical rain
You smell like prairie
And eternal spring
You smell like future and freedom

You smell like tobacco and peanuts
Dates and rum
You smell like emigrants who left
Singing a song

You smell like torrent and ravine
Peasant blood spilled
For your freedom

You smell like a woman in love
Always beloved and always abandoned
Dreaming by the sea
America, America
You smell like guava
Frozen mountain range

Green land
And tropical rain
You smell like prairie
And eternal spring

You smell like future and freedom
