2. What is patriotic about this song?
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas
Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
I am a sincere man From where the palm tree grows And before dying I want To share the verses of my soul.
My verse is light green And it is flaming crimson My verse is a wounded deer Who seeks refuge on the mountain (or in the woods).
I cultivate a white rose In July as in January For the sincere friend Who gives me his honest hand.
And for the cruel one who would tear out this
heart with which I live I do not cultivate nettles nor thistles I cultivate a white rose
With the poor people of the earth I want to share my fate The brook of the mountains Gives me more pleasure than the sea
CHORUS
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmin encendido
Que busca en el monte amparo
CHORUS
Cultivo la rosa blanca
En junio como en enero
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca
Y para el cruel
que me arranca
El corazon con que vivo
Cardo ni ortiga cultivo
CHORUS
Con los pobres de la tierra
Quiero yo mi suerte echar
El arroyo de la sierra
Me complace mas que el mar
CHORUS
