Hola, amigos de esta hermosa comunidad, es un placer volver a compartir con ustedes en una semana más del concurso de "Vibes". Para esta semana, traemos un tema country cantado en inglés, un poco fuera de nuestra zona de confort, jaja. "Take My Home, Country Roads" del cantante John Denver, es un famoso e icónico country que habla de las bellezas de Virginia, sus paisajes y ríos naturales, y a la vez, el anhelo de querer volver a estar ahí, en su hogar.
Hello, friends of this beautiful community, it's a pleasure to share with you again for another week of the "Vibes" contest. This week, we're bringing you a country song sung in English, a little outside our comfort zone, haha. "Take My Home, Country Roads" by singer John Denver is a famous and iconic country song that speaks to the beauty of Virginia, its landscapes and natural rivers, and at the same time, the longing to want to be there again, home.
Lyrics
Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Si bien, el country no tiene nada que ver con nuestra cultura venezolana, es un género que últimamente tenemos contagiado por su manera divertida de interpretar en la mandolina, y este tema en especial me ha gustado bastante. A continuación, añado el vídeo promocional realizado desde tiktok, deseándoles a todos una linda semana y éxitos en todas sus presentaciones, feliz día.
While country music has nothing to do with our Venezuelan culture, it's a genre we've recently become enamored with for its fun mandolin playing, and I particularly liked this track. Below, I'm adding the promotional video made on TikTok. I wish everyone a wonderful week and success in all their performances. Happy birthday.
