Fuego en Anymaná [English translation]

They say that I burned out like the slow, blue light

of a dusk.

They think I am drying

under the sun in loneliness

that by being at my root

I'm not growing anymore.

The thing is I am who I am,

just the same.

Woman who keeps looking for herself

in eternity.

If you want to know where I'm from

I'm from Anymaná.

Those who did not know shall know

that I am not only there for just being there

I am standing in the baguala shout of the puyay.

If I leave

everything I am will go with me

Far from me, far from here

I won't be me

Let me be just to be

seeing the sun return

I want to see the dawn in my country.

I am made to last like corn

simple and serene

I am made to last because I know

how to pass by

If you want to know where I'm from

I'm from Anymaná.

I'm from Anymaná

I'm from Anymaná

If I leave

everything I am will go with me

Far from me, far from here

I won't be me

Let me be just to be

seeing the sun return

I want to see the dawn in my country.

I am made to last like corn

simple and serene

I am made to last because I know

how to pass by

If you want to know where I'm from

I'm from Anymaná.

I'm from Anymaná

I'm from Anymaná
