Song – Corrido to Santa Rosa de Copán
Click to return to the Folkloric and Popular Songbook of Honduras
Lyrics and Music: Ing. Enrique Bueso Arias
Under the enchanting whisper of the pine trees
Santa Rosa de Copán rests
A cozy corner of Honduras
A tranquil and stately city
They call you the Sultana of the West
The breeze caresses you from the mountains
And your green hills proclaim
An anthem of peace and justice
In the moonlit nights, fervent serenades of love are heard
The air carries nostalgic notes
Of guitars that moan and sing
Sweet virgin full of grace
Santa Rosa de Lima, divine
Listen to my devoted prayers
My song carries the prayer
Of a sincere and courageous people
Santa Rosa, city of illusion
Under the enchanting whisper… (repeat)
