Agüita de Rio
Traigo de los valles
Un triste cantar
Lo que aprendí del río
Que cantando pasa
Por el pedregal
Del río que pasa
Su canto aprendí
Lo vengo trayendo
Quejoso en el parche
De mi tamboril
Agüita de río, camino de piedra
De cada quebrada, se lleva una pena
Agüita de río, lo mesmito soy
(¡No sé de onde vengo ni pa dónde voy!)
(¡No sé de onde vengo ni pa dónde voy!)
No quieres quererme
Mi palomitay
Será porque dicen
Que el amor ausente
No sabe durar
No quieres quererme
¡Qué será de mí!
Todita mi pena
Retumba en el parche
De mi tamboril
Agüita de río, camino de piedra
De cada quebrada, se lleva una pena
Agüita de río, lo mesmito soy
(¡No sé de onde vengo ni pa dónde voy!)
(¡No sé de onde vengo ni pa dónde voy!)
River Water
From the valleys I bring
A sad song
What I learned from the river
That passes by singing
Through the rocky terrain
From the river that flows
I learned its song
I carry it with me
Lamenting on the skin
Of my drum
River water, rocky path
From every ravine, it takes away a sorrow
River water, I'm just the same
(I don't know where I come from or where I'm going!)
(I don't know where I come from or where I'm going!)
You don't want to love me
My little dove
Maybe because they say
That absent love
Doesn't last
You don't want to love me
What will become of me!
All my sorrow
Resonates on the skin
Of my drum
River water, rocky path
From every ravine, it takes away a sorrow
River water, I'm just the same
(I don't know where I come from or where I'm going!)
(I don't know where I come from or where I'm going!)
