The Legend of the Sleeping Native Girl
The Legend of the Sleeping Native Girl
Luba era la hija menor del jefe de la tribu indígena de los Guaymíes, que vivían en unas preciosas montañas besadas por el sol.
Todos la llamaban Flor del Aire, y la conocían como una joven sencilla pero rebelde. Esa rebeldía era herencia de su raza fuerte y bravía, que luchó contra los conquistadores españoles durante años. Pero lo que menos se imaginaba la joven es que se enamoraría perdidamente de uno de los españoles que sometían a su pueblo.
Por ese gran amor, Luba despreció a Yaraví, un valiente guerrero de su tribu que la amaba con toda su alma. Este joven, al ver que no era correspondido y que era imposible merecer el amor de Flor del Aire, se lanzó al vacío desde lo alto de una montaña, ante la triste y perpleja mirada de la muchacha.
Ella entonces, decidida a no traicionar a su pueblo, renunció al amor del extranjero y llorando desesperada, penando su desventura, se perdió entre la maleza y se acostó sobre la verde sabana hasta que murió.
Y fue así como las colinas y los valles, en un abrazo melancólico la cubrieron y decidieron reproducir su figura, dándole la forma de una majestuosa montaña, que está en el Valle de Antón, para recordarla siempre.
Luba was the youngest daughter of the chief of the Guaymí native tribe, who lived in beautiful sun-kissed mountains.
Everyone called her Flor del Aire, and she was known as a simple but rebellious young woman. This rebelliousness was inherited from her strong and brave race, which fought against the Spanish conquerors for years. But what the young girl least expected was that she would fall madly in love with one of the Spaniards who oppressed her people.
Because of this great love, Luba despised Yaraví, a brave warrior from her tribe who loved her with all his soul. Seeing that he was not reciprocated and that winning Flor del Aire's love was impossible, he threw himself from the top of a mountain, before the sad and bewildered look of the young woman.
Then, determined not to betray her people, she abandoned the love of the outsider and, crying desperately, mourning her misfortune, she got lost in the bushes and lay down on the green savannah until she died.
And so, the hills and valleys, in a melancholic embrace, covered her and decided to recreate her figure, shaping it into a majestic mountain, which is in the Valle de Antón, to always remember her.

Robert Burns
"Comin Thro' the Rye" is a poem written in 1782 by Scottish poet Robert Burns, known as Scotland's national bard. Celebrated for his works in Scots and English that focus on rural life, love, and Scottish culture, Burns composed this poem using Scottish dialect. The poem is set to the melody of a traditional Scottish tune, "Common' Frae The Town,". The song points to eighteenth-century society's intrusive approach to romantic relationships. Young couples were frequently the subject of common gossip and closely scrutinised by the strict elders to ensure that courtships were conducted in an appropriate manner without breaching religious doctrine.
