"The Invitation"
How I love you Colombia
Greetings from Colombia to the World...
with this song that comes from the heart
I'm sorry if with this song I interrupted you
I ask for 3 minutes of your attention
I want to tell you of the valley and the mountain
Of how the brown colored seeds appear
Of how my land smells when bathed...
...with fresh drops of water that God sends
My blessed land...
told me to give you this invitation...
to the festivity...
so that we can sing together with my accordeon
For the Carnival in Barranquilla
For Monserrate in Bogota
For the wonderful Cali fair
Vallenato festival in Valledupar
For the beautiful beaches of Cartagena
Santa Marta and the sea festival
For Aguardiente and the good things
Coffee from Colombia, come to drink
For the Flower fair that we do in Medellin
The festivals in my Guajira...
and the corn-bread arepas
For my people that are so kind
And in the name of my nation...
Colombia opens the doors of its' immense heart
San Andres and Old Providence
From Leticia to my Guajira
To San Pedro
and from there to Bucaramanga, the pretty city
You thought I was going to forget the purest thing...
the one who gave me life and makes me happy
The blessed Lord knows it and so does everybody...
that the most beautiful women are right here
The Llanos dance joyfully to the Joropo
The Porro of my Savannah I came to feel
The women dancing Cumbia drive us crazy
And I swear that when you come, they will to you too
My blessed land...
Told me to give you this invitation...
to the festivity...
so that we can sing together with my accordeon
For the Carnival in Barranquilla
For Monserrate in Bogota
For the wonderful Cali fair
Vallenato festival in Valledupar
For the beautiful beaches of Cartagena
Santa Marta and the sea festival
For Aguardiente and the good things
Coffee from Colombia, come to drink
For the Flower fair that we do in Medellin
The festivals in my Guajira...
and the corn-bread arepas
For my people that are so kind
And in the name of my nation...
Colombia opens the doors to its' immense heart
And to the Carnival of Whites and Blacks...
Lets go, lets go
And I give you this invitation
I give you this invitation...
