The Spotted Rooster
As it has drizzled in Lara
the voice of Pío Alvarado
the dawn is beautiful
when that rooster has crowed.
How the requinto resonates
in the lands of Curarigua
the Spotted Rooster feeds
on everlasting flowers.
Oh world! How lovely the cuatro
when it plays through the town
it makes you want to grab
laughter and dreams
to see my people happy
meaning that those who have already ruled
should no longer rule here
What joy in the eyes
of old Pío Alvarado
the oriole of the cardones
made its song tricolor
it will not leave, it will always sing
the fresh music of its spring
How the requinto resonates
in the lands of Curarigua
the Spotted Rooster feeds
on everlasting flowers.
God save old golpero
the beauty of your song!
