In my heart, 'mi corazón' the musicians **** with love songs full of sunshine my sadness, 'muere la desazón'
With closed eyes are we dancing in marble luxury under an ornate ceiling busts looking down on us
Someone takes my hand and makes me spin around my soul sails up and shakes off its tears
stretching out its arms like a sun-peacock My belly shines, big is my heart, 'mi corazón'
Musica llanera (“Music of the plain”, in this case 'Los Llanos' ['The Plains'] in Venezuela) performed in the Museum of the Tropics in Amsterdam on March 21st, 2009
