Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Donde el Señor quisiera dejar
La maravilla de tus pinceles
En cielo, tierra, mujer y mar
Valle Viñales, Mariel, San Diego
Soroa linda, flores y luz
La maravilla, todo el encanto
Pinar del Río qué lindo eres
De Guanajay hasta Guane
Y la ternura de tus mujeres
Ay, pero quita pesares
(Ay, yo me voy a Pinar del Río)
(motivo dulce de mi cantar)
(tierra de música y poesía)
(bajo sus palmas quiero soñar)
Policromía maravillosa
De tu campiña que es un vergel
A del tabaco quedan tus vegas
Rica la piña caña de miel
Eres encanto del alma mía
Te lleva ardiente mi corazón
Y no hay un día que a Dios no pida
Que te bendiga plena de amor
Pinar del Río qué lindo eres
De Guanajay hasta Guane
Y la ternura de tus mujeres
Ay, pero quita pesares
(Ay, yo me voy a Pinar del Río)
(Bajo sus palmas quiero soñar)
Eh, policromía maravillosa
De tu campiña que es un vergel
(Ay, yo me voy a Pinar del Río)
(Bajo sus palmas quiero soñar)
Pinar del Río qué lindo eres
De mi mamá la tierra natal
(Ay, yo me voy a Pinar del Río)
(Bajo sus palmas quiero soñar)

The mention of the artist's own motherland in the last verse adds a personal touch, further emphasizing the deep emotional connection between the people and the land of Pinar del Rio.
