Someone tell me where you are from (bis)
That sings so nice this party
If you are so kind, touch it again
I want to listen to your guitar again
listen to me, you are not from the valley
of Magdalena or Bolívar
Well, it seems to me that your songs
they are from an unknown land
and I told him if you inspire him
know the land where I am from
with great pleasure and a lot of honor
I am from the center of La Guajira.
I was born in Dibuya in front of the Caribbean Sea (bis)
From where very small they took me
There, in Barranca, I was baptized
And in all the Guajira I became free
I saw Santader Martínez play
To Bolañito, to Francisco the Man
To Lole Brito, to Mr. Luis Pitre
The most renowned accordions
I am from a pleasant and honest land
That his story bears my name
I am that singer of Fonseca
The beautiful homeland of Chema Gómez.
I lived in a pretty little town (bis)
Call Lagunita de la Sierra
Of which I keep fond memories
Emporiums of accordionists and poets
There I played with Julio Francisco
With Moche Brito and with Chiche Guerra
And I knew Welcome well
The one who composed Berta Caldera
I already say goodbye, Carlos Huertas
I give my last name and first name
I am that Cantor de Fonseca
And I am a native of La Guajira.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
