I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill, On Blueberry Hill where I found you, The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill, And lingered till my dreams came true

American Singer "Fats Domino

Encontré mi emoción en la colina de arándanos cuando te encontré en la colina de arándanos! Se quedó ínmóvil la luna en la colina de arándanos, Y me tardaba hasta que realize mis sueños.

(An attempt at translating by Joe)

Moreover, they are delicious!

Tristemente, los arándanos no crecen en mi país, así que nosotros sólo los conseguimos como mermeladas.

Sadly, blueberries don't grow in my country, so we only get them as jams.
