I thought it was the Venezuelan national anthem, but that quickly dissipated when I listened to their national anthem.

In return, I will answer any and every single question posed to me.

So ask away, and answer away (even it's wrong, I will love you for trying)

I can't listen to it because I'm at office, but can't you run the music through the mobile application Shazam ? I'm pretty sure it will recognize it.

Seems to be a lot of pressure on featured bloggers these days.

That has to be from some kind of western movie. I'm seeing horses all over the place. And sunsets. And pistol duels. =S

Sorry I can't help with the song, but at least I can ask if Austria's treating you nicely (assuming you're still there) and if there are any cool Starcraft (BW) things going on in August, such that you could pop over to West/Central Switzerland and I could try and make a final push to having a TL BW community meetup in Switzerland before it's too far gone.

That sentence needed a question mark somewhere, so here it is:

I believe this is what you are looking for... "Alma Llanera" -- a Venezuelan folk song

(skipped to 1m18s)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alma_Llanera

Alma Llanera is a popular Joropo song composed by Pedro Elías Gutiérrez and with lyrics of Rafael Bolívar Coronado. It was part of a zarzuela whose premiere was on September 19, 1914 at the Teatro Municipal de Caracas.

Alma Llanera is considered as Venezuela's unofficial second national anthem. It is a tradition in Venezuela to end any social reunion or party with the intonation of Alma Llanera. The OSV (Venezuela Symphony Orchestra) made a beautiful arrangement of this piece of music to commemorate the 75 years of this widely popular song.

Today, Alma Llanera is considered as a Latin America landmark song and has been performed by many famous singers all over the world such as the Spanish tenor, Plácido Domingo.

The original lyrics of the Alma Llanera are as follows:
+ Show Spoiler +

Yo nací en esta ribera
del Arauca vibrador,
soy hermano de la espuma,
de las garzas, de las rosas,
soy hermano de la espuma,
de las garzas, de las rosas
y del sol, y del sol.

Me arrulló la viva Diana
de la brisa en el palmar,
y por eso tengo el alma
como el alma primorosa,
y por eso tengo el alma
como el alma primorosa
del cristal, del cristal.

Amo, lloro, canto, sueño
con claveles de pasión,
con claveles de pasión.
Amo, lloro, canto, sueño
para ornar las rubias crines
del potro de mi amador.

Yo nací en esta ribera
del Arauca vibrador,
soy hermano de los pumas,
de las garzas, de las rosas
y del sol.

A translation:
+ Show Spoiler +

I was born in this bank
of the rippling Arauca River,
I am brother of the surf,
of the herons, of the roses,
I am brother of the surf,
of the herons, of the roses
and the sun, and the sun.

I was lulled by the living reveille
of the breeze in the palm grove,
and so I have the soul
like the perfect soul,
and so I have the soul
like the perfect soul
of crystal, of crystal.

I love, I weep, I sing, I dream
of carnations of passion,
of carnations of passion.
I love, I weep, I sing, I dream
to adorn the blonde mane
of my lover's colt.

I was born in this bank
of the rippling Arauca River,
I am brother of the puma,
of the herons, of the roses
and the sun.
