De Donde Vengo
Alex Alvear
Where I Come From
I come from the belly button of the planet
Earth where the sun never fails
So varied and rich is its beauty
That anyone who sees it falls in love
We are of all colors
Each town has its flavor
A melting pot of races and cultures
Petals of a beautiful flower
Oh my Ecuador, oh my Ecuador
Oh my Ecuador, my beautiful Ecuador
Wherever I go, I carry you in my heart
Wherever I go, I carry you in my heart
The path that has been given to me
Has taken me far from my home
But the distance has not managed
To make me forget where I come from
In the shadow of a new memory
I rediscover an old truth
The tree can extend its branch
But its roots will not move
Oh my Ecuador, oh my Ecuador
Oh my Ecuador, my beautiful Ecuador
Wherever I go, I carry you in my heart
Wherever I go, I carry you in my heart
Today I want to sing to you, my land
Fill you with praise and love
With this simple melody
That when sung, the heart shouts
Oh my Ecuador, oh my Ecuador
Oh my Ecuador, my beautiful Ecuador
Wherever I go, I carry you in my heart
Wherever I go, I carry you in my heart
