Las Chiapanecas

I cut a carnation
by the blue mountains
little path from my ranch
equally the wind
my faithful horse
to take me to its side.
Beautiful flower of April
take this carnation
that I offer you with passion
don't tell me no
because in your mouth
lies the secret of my love.
When the night arrived
and with its blue cloak
covered the white ranch
joyfully the dance began.
Dance my Chiapaneca
dance, dance gracefully
dance, gentle ray of light
Dance my Chiapaneca
dance, dance gracefully
because in the dance
you are the queen.
