Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ante el embrujo dlarense de tus mujeres
otro azul nunca vi tan igual
como tu cielo de lindos atardeceres
(=BIS=)
Barquisimeto la del cuatro y el corrio,
la del puro sentimiento,
para que eres el amor mio
Barquisimeto, la del alma cantarina
la del calido reuerdo
que me dio la despedida
Pueblo querido, tus ielos jamas olvido
al ridmo de mis capachos
cantando sue
