Simon Bolivar Lyrics
Inti Illimani
Lyrics
Sim?n Bol?var, Sim?n,
caraque?o americano,
el suelo venezolano
le dio la fuerza a tu voz.
Sim?n Bol?var, Sim?n,
naci? de tu Venezuela
y por todo el tiempo vuela
como candela tu voz.
Como candela que va
se?alando un rumbo cierto
en este suelo cubierto
de muertos con dignidad
Sim?n bol?var, Sim?n,
revivido en las memorias
que abri? otro tiempo la historia,
te espera el tiempo Sim?n.
Sim?n Bol?var, raz?n,
raz?n del pueblo profunda,
antes que todo se hunda
vamos de nuevo Sim?n.
Sim?n Bol?var, Sim?n,
en el sur la voz amiga,
es la voz de Jos? Artigas
que tambi?n ten?a raz?n
