2. I am a sincere man From where the palm tree grows And before dying I want To share the verses of my soul. My verse is light greenAnd it is flaming crimsonMy verse is a wounded deerWho seeks refuge on the mountain (or in the woods). I cultivate a white roseIn July as in JanuaryFor the sincere friendWho gives me his honest hand. And for the cruel onewho would tear out this heart with which I liveI do not cultivate nettles nor thistlesI cultivate a white rose With the poor people of the earthI want to share my fateThe brook of the mountainsGives me more pleasure than the sea What is patriotic about this song? Yo soy un hombre sincero De donde crecen las palmas Y antes de morirme quiero Echar mis versos del alma CHORUS Mi verso es de un verde claro Y de un carmin encendido Mi verso es de un verde claro Y de un carmin encendido Que busca en el monte amparo CHORUS Cultivo la rosa blanca En junio como en enero Para el amigo sincero Que me da su mano franca Y para el cruel que me arranca El corazon con que vivo Cardo ni ortiga cultivo Cultivo la rosa blanca CHORUS Con los pobres de la tierra Quiero yo mi suerte echar El arroyo de la sierra Me complace mas que el mar CHORUS
