Lyrics of Veracruz - Javier Solis

Veracruz (original)

Yo nací con la luna de plata
y nací con alma de pirata.
Yo he nacido rumbero y jarocho,
trovador de veras
y me fui lejos de Veracruz.
Veracruz, rinconcito donde hacen su nido las olas del mar,
Veracruz, pedacito de patria que sabe sufrir y cantar.
Veracruz, son tus noches diluvio de estrellas,
palmera y mujer
Veracruz, vibra en mi ser,
algún día hasta tus playas lejanas tendré que volver.
Veracruz, son tus noches diluvio de estrellas,
palmera y mujer
Veracruz, vibra en mi ser,
algún día hasta tus playas lejanas tendré que volver.

(translation)

I was born with the silver moon
and I was born with the soul of a pirate.
I was born a rumbero and a jarocho,
troubadour of truth
and I went away from Veracruz.
Veracruz, little corner where the waves of the sea make their nest,
Veracruz, a little piece of homeland that knows how to suffer and sing.
Veracruz, your nights are a deluge of stars,
palm tree and woman
Veracruz, vibrates in my being,
Someday I will have to return to your distant beaches.
Veracruz, your nights are a deluge of stars,
palm tree and woman
Veracruz, vibrates in my being,
Someday I will have to return to your distant beaches.
