Sentimiento criollo

Beauties of my land
Where my eyes saw the light,
In your memory my love is enclosed
And I am comforted by the sight of your blue sky.
After a long absence
When life drank a tastelessness,
Like a good mother, when she returns
She gives us her warmth.
 
Recited:
I found no beauties more pleasing to the soul
As those I saw where I was born...
 
Pleasant reveries of our home
Filled with the charms of a sweet love,
Beautiful fields of the patriotic soil
Of the rushes, soft rumor,
Where the herdsman, his song
Intoned in the shade of the ceibal in bloom.
 
Where my youth shone
When in sublime evocation,
My guitar adorned
Of blue and white ribbons, triumphed.
