What is patriotic about this song?
Yo soy un hombre sincero
De donde crecen las palmas
Y antes de morirme quiero
Echar mis versos del alma
CHORUS
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmin encendido
Mi verso es de un verde claro
Y de un carmin encendido
Que busca en el monte amparo
CHORUS
Cultivo la rosa blanca
En junio como en enero
Para el amigo sincero
Que me da su mano franca
Y para el cruel
que me arranca
El corazon con que vivo
Cardo ni ortiga cultivo
Cultivo la rosa blanca
I am a sincere man
From where the palm tree grows
And before dying I want
To share the verses of my soul.
My verse is light green
And it is flaming crimson
My verse is a wounded deer
Who seeks refuge on the mountain (or in the
woods).
I cultivate a white rose
In July as in January
For the sincere friend
Who gives me his honest hand.
And for the cruel one
who would tear out this
heart with which I live
I do not cultivate nettles nor thistles
I cultivate a white rose
With the poor people of the earth
I want to share my fate
The brook of the mountains
Gives me more pleasure than the sea
CHORUS
Con los pobres de la tierra
Quiero yo mi suerte echar
El arroyo de la sierra
Me complace mas que el mar CHORUS

What would cause colonial people of Latin America
to revolt?
Refer back to colonial life pre-1700’s (Global I) &
post-1700’s (Global II)!
“I will never allow my hands to be idle or my soul to rest,
until I have broken the chains laid upon us by Spain!”
“Americans today, and perhaps to a greater extent than
ever before, who live within the Spanish system, occupy a
position in society no better than the serfs destined for
labor, or at best they have no more status than that of
mere consumers…”
~ Simon Bolivar, 1815
