Soy Colombiano
Tinto
I'm Colombian
Give me a shot of aguardiente,
A sugarcane aguardiente,
from the canes of my valleys
and the anise of my mountains.
Don't give me foreign liquor
because it's expensive and doesn't taste good,
because I always want
what's from my land first.
Oh! How proud I feel
to have been born in my town. (repeat)
Sing me a bambuco
one that reaches the soul,
songs that used to make me happy
when I could barely say mama.
The rest may be beautiful
but the heart doesn't skip a beat,
like when they sing to me
a Colombian song.
Oh! How proud I feel
to have been born in my homeland. (repeat)
And for me a girl
with pearls and dark skin,
or a blonde with clear eyes
and soft mountain skin.
Girls, music, and drink
from the mountains or my plains,
Oh! How proud I feel
to be a good Colombian
Oh! How proud I feel
to have been born in Colombia!
Oh! How proud I feel
to be a good Colombian!
Oh! How proud I feel
to be a good Colombian!
