Lyrics
[Intro] Oh Colombia, land of dreams and hope, From Andean peaks to Caribbean coast. [Verse 1] In South America, you stand so tall, Bogotá the heart, where the mountain calls. From the Amazon's green whispering shade, To the llanos where the wild horses play. [Pre-Chorus] Land of vibrant cities and endless skies, Hear the stories that your spirit ties. [Chorus] Colombia, Colombia, colors in the breeze, From coffee fields to emerald seas. One nation, one heart, beating as one, In the rhythm of the vallenato sun. [Verse 2] Cartagena's walls hold tales of old, Where Spanish galleons their treasures hold. Chocó's rainforests; diverse and grand, Home to Afro-Colombian bands. [Chorus] Colombia, Colombia, colors in the breeze, From coffee fields to emerald seas. One nation, one heart, beating as one, In the rhythm of the vallenato sun. [Bridge] Hear the voices of Gabo's magic tales, The music and dance that the world hails. Taste arepas and sancocho's spice, The warmth of the people, always nice. [Final Chorus] Colombia, Colombia, colors in the breeze, From coffee fields to emerald seas. One nation, one heart, beating as one, In the rhythm of the vallenato sun. [Outro] Oh Colombia, a treasure so bright, In your people and lands, we find the light.
