PAJARILLO
Composed by Luis Silva
Performed by Los Alumnos de San Juan

Aaay …

Pajarito, pajarillo que cantas por donde quieras,
vamos a unir el cantar pa' cantarle a Venezuela,
la tierra que pare machos y no se dan donde quieran,
de esos que arriesgan la vida, cuando toca defenderla
como lo hizo Bolívar, el que libertador fuera,
que luchó a capa y espada por defender nuestra tierra.
Nosotros que no podemos hacerlo como él lo hiciera,
vamos a hacerlo cantado, pero con voz altanera,
que retumben los caminos, que recorran las fronteras
para mantener en alto y fijar nuestra bandera,
ya que desde muy pequeños nos recorre por las venas
amar, querer y sentir nuestra patria Venezuela.

Aaay...

Little bird, little bird, you sing wherever you want,
we'll join the song to sing to Venezuela,
the land that births men and does not give them whatever they want,
of those who risk their lives, when they're called to defend it
like Bolívar did, he who was the liberator,
who fought tooth and nail to defend our land.
We who cannot do it as he did,
we'll do it singing, but with an arrogant voice,
so that the paths will boom, people will cross the borders
to keep high and watch our flag,
because since we were very small
to love, to love, and to feel our homeland Venezuela
runs through our veins.

Aaay …

El tema voy a cambiar por una causa en reclamo,
que no se olvide el folclore, vida del venezolano.
Me voy a unir a la lista de copleros afamados
y en mi inspiración los nombro para jamás olvidarlos:
al Carrao de Palmarito por coplero vergatario,
a Luis Lozada “el cubiro”, de los llanos veterano,
Ángel Custodio Loyola, viejo cantor afamado
y el grandioso Florentino, él que cantó con el diablo,
al chistoso Simón Díaz por su famoso caballo.
Me despido por ahora para volver no sé cuando
y nombrar más cantadores que hasta vivirán luchando
por defender el folclore y costumbres de mi llano.

Aaay...

As a tactic I'll change the theme for a cause,
so that folklore, the life of the Venezuelan, is not forgotten.
I'll join the list of famous folk singers,
and in my inspiration I name them to never forget them:
Carrao of Palmarito, a folk singer and good person,
Luis Lozada, "the one from Cubiro," veteran of the plains,
Ángel Custodio Loyola, an old famous singer,
and the magnificent Florentino, he who sings with the devil,
and the funny Simón Díaz for his famous horse.
I bid farewell for now to return I-don't-know-when
and to name more singers who still will live fighting
to defend the folklore and customs of my plain.
