La Samaria Lyrics English Translation by Bomba Estéreo
(feat. Carlos Vives)
I am from here, I am from here
And I was born here, I grew up here
Oh, how beautiful is the sky that covers me
And that December breeze that comes in through the house
How tasty is the salt from the sea of my beach
Even though it has no train, its mountains are snow-capped
Where the sun hits my skin
With the dreams I never woke up from
The one from the sunset photo
And now I return to see you again
From the corner of the neighborhood dancing at the party
Where everyone drinks with the door open
Here, here, here
There’s no winter or spring
Here, here, here
It’s summer the whole life long
Here, here, here
When the mango falls and the acacia blooms
Here, here, here
A little bath in the rain and a fresh piece of fruit
Here, here, here
Who wants green mango shaved with cola?
Here all the sadness goes away with the waves
I grew up watching the sunset
Like I’ve never seen since
And I learned to be happy living in the now
Because the Caribbean wraps itself around my being
And if it’s possible to be born again
I would choose this place, its color and its aroma
And on a corner of the neighborhood dancing champeta
Eating butifarra until the sun comes up
Here, here, here
There’s no winter or spring
Here, here, here
It’s summer the whole life long
Here, here, here
When the mango falls and the acacia blooms
Here, here, here
A little bath in the rain and a fresh piece of fruit
One day I had to leave La Samaria
And the world wasn’t the same far from there
And even though destiny wanted it, I’ve tricked it, I never left
It doesn’t matter where I was
It doesn’t matter who I was with
It doesn’t matter what happened, I was from here
Here, here, here
Here, here, here
Here, here, here
There’s no winter or spring
Here, here, here
It’s summer the whole life long
Here, here, here
When the mango falls and the acacia blooms
Here, here, here
A ripe banana on the table
Because the Caribbean wraps itself around my being
And if I had to be born again
I would choose this place, I would choose here and now
I am from here, I am from here
I was born here and I grew up here
I am from here, I am from here
I was born here and I grew up here
