Venezuela
???????? ???????? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y el cuatro en el corazón
Llevo en mi sangre la espuma del mar
Y tu horizonte en mis ojos
No envidio el vuelo ni el nido al turpial
Soy como el viento en la mies
Siento el caribe como a una mujer
Soy desierto, selva, nieve y volcán
Y al andar dejo mi estela
Y el rumor del llano en una canción
Que me desvela
La mujer que quiero tiene que ser
Corazón, fuego y espuela
Con la piel tostada como una flor
De venezuela
Con tus paisajes y mis sueños me iré
Por esos mundos de dios
Y tus recuerdos al atardecer
Me harán más corto el camino
Entre tus playas quedó mi niñez
Tendida al viento y al sol
Y esa nostalgia que sube a mi voz
Sin querer se hizo canción
De los montes quiero la inmensidad
Y del río la acuarela
Y de ti los hijos que sembrarán
Nuevas estrellas
Y si un día tengo que naufragar
Y el tifón rompe mis velas
Enterrad mi cuerpo cerca del mar

Im Dutch and visited Venezuela in may 2022 for three weeks. Absolutely loved it!

Venezuela is beautiful, I am sure the country will get even better as it was before, there is a lot but a lot of potential and people already are working hard on their own small businesses and not waiting for the government to give them anything, we needed the crisis to be able to realize many things and to stop being a dependant of oil, now are the people that are creating wealth, slowly I am sure Venezuela will be back to its golden period.

@Ricardo Carey are you jew? Yeah, the Old Testament does portrait God like that, but the New Testament doesn't, the whole message of Jesus is against that portrayal of God, characterizing him as a loving and forgiving father, not a cruel God when he's not obeyed, like the Old Testament.

Venezuela cannot prosper with Maduro in power. I agree with you to an extent regarding small business popping up and even people returning to Venezuela and investing money in the country after many years living in other countries. I fear that despite these things happening the government will find a way to mess it up.
Amílcar Trejo Mosquera
@am t yup, specially the brand of socialism endemic to LATAM.

Please allow me, who am a Venezuelan, and live outside Caracas in a privileged area, to tell those interested the following. If you don´t speak Spanish it will be in your interest to seek another destination where you can move at your desire. At the end of this video, the visitor stated that he was escorted and advised by TWO persons. This indicates that protection was requested in order to visit a few of the most attractive sites. Are you willing to pay for such protection? But, the main factor that I find is that is that tourist services and facilities do NOT meet international standards, and some authorities, especially corrupt police and National Guard, are on the lookout for easy money by means of extortion by threat of detention.(Note the traffic stoppage due to unidentified threat) This threat is for all of us local, not only for visitors. True that Venezuelan territory holds some very attractive sites, and people are truly open, friendly and helpful. But, many locals feel strange to come upon a foreighn visitor because in their ignorance they equate a foreigner with the rulers of their country of origin. So, Europeans, US, Canadian, Australian, SouthAfrican citizens, may be mis-identified by local people as some sort of enemy, because government officials have blamed the Venezuelan social and economic disaster on the sanctions imposed by other countries upon the individual outlaws that have led us to ruin. Until you cease to learn of doubtful security and lawlessness in my dear nation, do yourself a great favor: Go elsewhere.

@EricS thank you. I plan to visit from NYC soon … I will take precautions but will be without fear.

@Amanda A Gracias por sus deseos. Espero que tome una decision sabia dados los indicios de violencia que pueda percibir. Las apariencias de un retorno a un clima mas seguro son falsas y engañosas. Tanto las autoridades como gente desesperada suponen peligros latentes. Mi sugerencia es que se eviten riesgos innecesarios. En el Caribe hay muchos sitios de esparcimiento mas acogedores y sanos.
Amanda A
Gracias para la información. Quiero a ir a 🇻🇪pero es difícil para encontrar seguro de viaje y vuelos de Europa. Creo que no es la gente venezolana pero el gobierno y sus fuerzas de seguridad que son el problema allí. Espero la situación allí mejore pronto. Suerte. 🙏 🤞
