Translation

Fiel surtidor de hidalguia

Faithful source of nobility

Manizales rumorosa

Noisy Manizales

Bajo tu cielo de rosa

Under your rose-colored sky

Canta el viento su alegria

The wind sings its joy


Tan dulce es la tirania

So sweet is the tyranny

De tu belleza preclara

Of your illustrious beauty

Que antes de que yo te amara

That before I loved you

Mi corazón te queria

My heart already desired you


Ay manizales del alma

Oh Manizales of the soul

Ay manizales de ensueño!

Oh Manizales of dreams!

Con los zafiros del alba

With the sapphires of dawn

Borda su ofrenda mi ensueño

My dream embroiders its offering


Ay manizales de plata!

Oh Manizales of silver!

Ay manizales de armiño!

Oh Manizales of ermine!

Prende a tu cuello de nacar

Adorn your mother-of-pearl neck

El collar de mi cariño!

With the necklace of my affection!


Toro de pena y desvio

Bull of sorrow and deviation

Sobre el redondel sonoro

Upon the resonant arena

Fingen caracolas de oro

Golden conches pretend

Las carretas del rocio

The carts of dew


Toda la feria es un rio

The entire fair is a river

De jubilo y azucena

Of jubilation and lilies

Y el sol cierra su faena

And the sun concludes its task

Con banderillas de estio

With summer's banderillas
