En lo personal, creo que “Venezuela” es una pieza hermosísima porque habla de lo que es el país y lo que representa el país para su gente. De hecho, con la ola migratoria que ha ocurrido en Venezuela en los últimos años, se ha popularizado tanto, que muchos afirman que se ponen más “sentimentales” al escuchar esta pieza, más que con el propio himno nacional, el “Gloria al bravo pueblo”.
Llevo tu luz y tu aroma en mi piel
y el cuatro en el corazón
llevo en mi sangre la espuma del mar
y tu horizonte en mis ojos.
Con tu paisaje en mis sueños me iré
por esos mundos de Dios
y tus recuerdos al atardecer
me harán más corto el camino.
La lejanía, la distancia que hemos padecido de nuestro país, es lo que nos hace más sensible a la letra de esta canción. La hicimos más nuestra, en la medida que la vivimos.
La música mexicana tiene una canción, “México lindo y querido”, en la que se habla del deseo de todo mexicano ser enterrado en su tierra. En Venezuela tenemos los hermosos versos que dicen: “Y si un día tengo que naufragar y el tifón rompe mis velas, enterrad mi cuerpo cerca del mar, en Venezuela”. Porque Venezuela es, para todo venezolano, la mejor casa, incluso después de la vida.

Good morning, friends of HIVE! Today is Tuesday and like every Tuesday, we have music on our platform.
For weeks now, as a Venezuelan, it has occurred to me to share not only the most popular Venezuelan songs, but also the most covered ones, and today it is the turn of a song so special that it is considered the third anthem of our country, after “Gloria al bravo pueblo” and “El alma llanera”. This song is entitled: “Venezuela”.
Personally, I think that “Venezuela” is a very beautiful piece because it speaks of what the country is and what the country represents for its people. In fact, with the wave of migration that has occurred in Venezuela in recent years, it has become so popular that many say that they get more “sentimental” when listening to this song than the national anthem “Gloria al bravo pueblo”.
With lyrics and music by the Spaniards Pablo Herrero Ibarz and José Luis Armenteros Sánchez, “Venezuela” has been sung by many national and international artists, who see this piece as a musical tribute to a country of beautiful landscapes and beautiful people. In its lyrics we can appreciate the natural wealth that exists in our lands and how the Venezuelan is, the man who works, sings and loves:
I feel that the song is divided into two parts: the first part is the description of the Venezuelan and Venezuela, its landscapes, its people, its loves; and then, the second part, talks about the feeling that a Venezuelan can have far from his land. “And this nostalgia that today rises to my voice, unintentionally became a song”, says the lyrics and our heart becomes tiny because we know the size of the loneliness of the immigrants of our land.
It is precisely this second part of the song “Venezuela” that has made this song so popular in recent years. In the past, the Venezuelan was not a person who left his country: he went out and came back, like the famous case of Susana Duij who gave up job offers in Paris to return to her homeland. But nowadays, Venezuelans have had to abandon their family, their affections, their nation, and they have identified with the lyrics of this piece:
The remoteness, the distance we have suffered from our country, is what makes us more sensitive to the lyrics of this song. We made it more ours.
Mexican music has a song, “México lindo y querido”, which speaks of the desire of all Mexicans to be buried in their homeland. In Venezuela we have the beautiful verses that say: “And if one day I have to be shipwrecked and the typhoon breaks my sails, bury my body near the sea, in Venezuela”. Because Venezuela is, for every Venezuelan, the best home, even after life.
I have seen so many beautiful pictures of Venezuela, its food and of course people, it is say people feel they have to leave.
I do like the song Venezuela too!
Thanks for sharing Nancy and I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
I know you would like it! Venezuela is an incredible country, with incredible people. When this is over and we go back to being a prosperous country, you are invited to eat shrimp and octopus empanadas by the beach and some cold beers. Cheers! ;)
