¡Viva viernes!     (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)

La fecha es el ocho (8) de noviembre del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is November 8, 2024.)

Nicaragua Nicaragüita (Nicaragua, Little Nicaragua) is a folk song full of botanical metaphors by Carlos Mejía Godoy.

“Ay, Nicaragua, Nicaragüita, recibe como prenda de amor este ramo de siemprevivas y jilinjoches que hoy florecen para vos” (Oh, Nicaragua, little Nicaragua, accept as a token of love this bouquet of everlasting flowers and ceibas that bloom for you today).

“Cuando yo beso tu frente pura, beso las perlas de tu sudor, más dulcita que la frutita de tigüilote y el jocote tronador” (When I kiss your pure forehead, I kiss the pearls of your sweat, sweeter than the little tiguilote berry and the tronador jocote fruit).

¡Cantemos! (Let’s sing!)  Sing along to la letra (the lyrics).

¡Que tengas un viernes volcánico!     (May you have a volcanic Friday!)

L. A. Feliz
