ENGLISH TRANSLATION
There is a place where men speak like birds
On the island of La Gomera, we hear "el silbo" in echo
Between two mountains moored to the clouds
A "guache" invites to have dinner
Menu? A spicy "mojo" which rises to eyes
And, again, a whistling to say goodbye
Seeing him yomping, agile foot, bowed legs
We distinguish him from argile only by his whistle sound
The "lucha canaria" to protect his island
"El silbo" to brave the "Gardia civil"
It's an island in heaven, where men whristle too
The beautifulest song of the beautifulest bird, it's "silbo gomero"
It's "silbo gomero"
"Guagua" climbs terraced gardens
Under the volcan walk, "el silbo" goes through the smoke
And here I am, litlle giant, ready to whistle in the wind
Few words I kept flie towards you
Gomero! Bonifacio
It's an island in heaven, where men whristle too
The beautifulest song of the beautifulest bird, it's "silbo gomero"
It's "silbo gomero"
