No puedo explicar, no puedo explicar, no puedo decir, lo que por Ti siento
Al verte dejar, al verte dejar, Tu sagrado altar, para ir con Tu pueblo (BIS)

¡Ay, mi Chinita!
Vos sois mi ternura,
Mi Reina del alma,
Tu rostro es dulzura
Que me da la calma
Mi luz infinita, ¡ay ve!
Cómo te quiero, ¡ay Dios!
Amorcito de mi vida
Yo te quiero
Yo te amo
Tu sonrisa es el regalo
Que llena de luz mi corazón (BIS)

Este amado lar, este amado lar, que ha sido tu grey, Tu fiel aposento
Te habrá de llevar, te habrá de llevar, en su corazón con gran sentimiento (BIS)

¡Ay, mi Chinita!
Vos sois mi ternura,
Mi Reina del alma,
Tu rostro es dulzura
Que me da la calma
Mi luz infinita, ¡ay ve!
Cómo te quiero, ¡ay Dios!

Expo-Zulia is a temporary marketplace where the zulians show a great deal products that characterize our region. Many merchants, stores, companies and artisans offer their products at reasonably low prices.  Many “gaiteros” gather in front of the basilica to sing their best gaitas to please the patron virgin.
