El Porteñito

The Porteño

El Porteñito

Smooth, smooth, smooth my canoe, they cross the waves when they reach the bowSuave, suave, suave mi canoa, cruzan las olas cuando llegan a la proa

I'm a city boy born on this little island in ColombiaSoy porteño naci en esta islita de colombia
She is very prettyElla es muy bonita
Its streets are smooth and serene, like the brunetteSon sus calles suaves y serenas, como la morena
Who lives in this placeQue vive en este lugar
In the evenings when the setting sun paints the worldPor las tardes cuando el sol poniente lanza el mundo
A beautiful swirl, alone and sadUn lindo arrevol, solo y triste
Crying over a sorrow, the illusion of an old loveLlorando una pena, la ilusion de un viejo amor

They call me the city boy, because I was born in the portMe llaman el porteñito, por que en el puerto naci
And together with my brunette, there I lived happilyY junto con mi morena allo yo vivi feliz
When I go out in the afternoons with my brunette for a walkCuando salgo por las tarde con mi morena a pasear
Everyone asks if we're going to the seaPregunta toda la gente si es que nos vamos pal mar ahi

Smooth, smooth, smooth my canoe, they cross the waves when they reach the bowSuave, suave, suave mi canoa, cruzan las olas cuando llegan a la proa

Sit well, brunette, because we're going to the seaSentate bien morena por que nos vamos pal mar
Sit well, my black girl, because we're going to get wet thereSentate bien mi negra por que nos vamos a mojar ahi

Smooth, smooth, smooth my canoe, they cross the waves when they reach the bowSuave, suave, suave mi canoa, cruzan las olas cuando llegan a la proa

Sit well, brunette, because we're going to the seaSentate bien morena por que nos vamos pal mar
To the rhythm of this boat, girl, because we're going to capsizeAl son de este bote niña por que nos vamos a voltear

Smooth, smooth, smooth my canoe, they cross the waves when they reach the bowSuave, suave, suave mi canoa, cruzan las olas cuando llegan a la proa

Sit well, brunette, because we're going to get wetSentate bien morena por que nos vamos a mojar
Sit well, emerald, because we're going to the salty water thereSentate bien esmeralda por que nos vamos al agua salada ahiii
