Yo, yo nací en una ribera
I, I was born by a river
Del Arauca vibrador
Of the vibrating Arauca
Soy hermano de la espuma
I am brother to the foam
De las garzas, de las rosas
Of the herons, of the roses
Soy hermano de la espuma
I am brother to the foam
De las garzas, de las rosas
Of the herons, of the roses
Y del sol, y del sol
And to the sun, and to the sun
Me, me arrulló la viva diana
Me, I was lulled by the lively dawn
De la brisa del palmar
Of the breeze from the palm grove
Y por eso tengo el alma
And that's why I have the soul
Como el alma primorosa
Like the exquisite soul
Y por eso tengo el alma
And that's why I have the soul
Como el alma primorosa
Like the exquisite soul
Del cristal, del cristal
Of crystal, of crystal
Amo, lloro, canto, sueño
I love, I cry, I sing, I dream
Con claveles de pasión
With carnations of passion
Con claveles de pasión
With carnations of passion
Amo, lloro, río, sueño
I love, I cry, I laugh, I dream
Y le canto a Venezuela
And I sing to Venezuela
Con el alma de trovador
With the soul of a troubadour
Yo nací en esta ribera
I was born on this riverbank
Del Arauca vibrador
Of the vibrating Arauca
Soy hermano de la espuma
I am brother to the foam
De las garzas, de las rosas
To the herons, to the roses
Y del sol, y del sol
And to the sun, and to the sun
Me, me arrulló la viva diana
I, I was lulled by the lively dawn
De la brisa del palmar
Of the breeze from the palm trees
Y por eso tengo el alma
And that's why my soul is
Como el alma primorosa
Like the exquisite soul
Y por eso tengo el alma
And that's why my soul is
Como el alma primorosa
Like the exquisite soul
Del cristal, del cristal
Of crystal, of crystal
Amo, lloro, canto, sueño
I love, I cry, I sing, I dream
Con claveles de pasión
With passion's carnations
Con claveles de pasión
With passion's carnations
Amo, lloro, río, sueño
I love, I cry, I laugh, I dream
Y le canto a Venezuela
And I sing to Venezuela
Con el alma de trovador
With the soul of a minstrel
Yo nací en esta ribera
I was born on this shore
Del Arauca vibrador
Of the vibrating Arauca
Soy hermano de la espuma
I am the brother of the foam
De las garzas, de las rosas
Of the herons, of the roses
Y del sol, y del sol
And of the sun, and of the sun
