about
This is a song about the beautiful city of Medellin, Colombia, where my family is from. It speaks of the beauty of the mountains, the beautiful women, the spring like weather all year round, and the constant state of rumba!
lyrics
Tierra de mis padres
Y de mi corazón
Tierra de mi sangre
Te canto mi canción
Siempre en primavera
La gente mas feliz
Siempre están en rumba
La estrella del país
Vamos a bailar
Bailar en el jardín
Vamos a bailar
En la ciudad de Medellin
Vamos a bailar
La cumbia hasta al fin
Vamos a bailar
En la ciudad de Medellin
Bella la montaña
Y bella la mujer
El que no está de acuerdo
No lo dejo de joder
Levantemos nuestras copas
Con sabor de anís
Brindemos nuestra tierra
La estrella del país
Vamos a bailar
Bailar en el jardín
Vamos a bailar
En la ciudad de Medellin
Vamos a bailar
La cumbia hasta al fin
Vamos a bailar
En la ciudad de Medellin
Tierra de mis padres
Y de mi corazón
Tierra de mi sangre
Te canto mi canción
Siempre en primavera
La gente mas feliz
Siempre están en rumba
La estrella del país
Vamos a bailar
Bailar en el jardín
Vamos a bailar
En la ciudad de Medellin
Vamos a bailar
La cumbia hasta al fin
Vamos a bailar
En mi hermosa Medellin
