Alma Llanera Translated

Ranger's Soul

I was born next to this bank

Of the Arauca that vibrates

I am brother to its foam

To the herons, to the roses

And to the sun, to the sun

It lulled me the sound

Of clarinets in the breeze

Next to the palms

That’s why my soul is

Is so gracious, is so gracious

As a crystal, crystal like

I love, cry, sing and dream

Of the colt that I do love
