19 De Noviembre
Carlos Vives
November 19th
November 19th
After so much suffering
I take your portrait to heaven
And declare myself free as the wind
I feel reborn
How could it happen
I who was badly wounded
With a broken heart
And about to die
And you burst in victorious
When you saw the insolence
You defended your borders
And planted your flag
Demanding my independence
There was nothing to lose
I want to thank you
I will be your faithful soldier
You will be my celebration day
And I will always remember you
Chorus:
And every November 19th
I shout for my independence
Parties are heard everywhere
And in the sky a flag pays tribute to your existence
And every November 19th
I commemorate that feat
Lights are heard in the sky
And in the streets my people are there
Remembering your epic
And you burst in victorious
When you saw the insolence
You defended your borders
And planted your flag
Demanding my independence
There was nothing to lose
I want to thank you
I will be your faithful soldier
You will be my celebration day
And I will always remember you
Chorus
November has arrived
Let's celebrate
And by the seashore
I will kiss you again
November has arrived
Let's party
I will shout as I pass by
Long live my freedom (repeat)
