ALMA LLANERA

Yo naci en esta ribera
del Arauca vibrador,
soy hermano de la espuma,
de las garzas de las rosas,
soy hermano de la espuma,
de las garzas de las rosas,
y del sol, y del sol,

Me arrullo la viva diana
e la brisa en el palmar,
y por eso tengo el alma,
como el alma primo rosa,
y por eso tengo el alma,
como el alma primo rosa,
del cristal, del cristal,

Amo, lloro, canto, sueño
con claveles de pasion,
Con claveles de pasion.
Para ornar las rubias crines al potro de mi amador.
Yo naci en esta ribera del Arauca vibrador,
soy hermano de la espuma,
de las garzas de las rosas,
y del sol, y del sol.

A Note From The Gull

Alma Llanera is also sung at Christmas time in Trinbago. It is a popular Venezuelan Joropo song composed by Pedro Elías Gutiérrez with lyrics by Rafael Bolívar Coronado. This version is sung by Simón Díaz.

Thank you, Venezuela, for the beautiful music you have shared and continue to share with us.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
