Costañera

Coastline

Costañera

Bathed in sunlightBañada por soles
Your dark hairTu negra cabellera
Sprayed by the foamRociada por la espuma
Of the Magdalena RiverDel río Magdalena

With the strong windCon el viento fuerte
And wrapped in the breezeY envuelta en la brisa
Eager and thirstyAnsiosa y sedienta
She walks by the shoreVa por la ribera

With the strong windCon el viento fuerte
And wrapped in the breezeY envuelta en la brisa
Eager and thirstyAnsiosa y sedienta
She walks by the shoreVa por la ribera

Shake, shake your waistCimbra cimbra tu cintura
Have you forgotten your sorrows?¿Olvidaste ya tus penas?
Think that you’re something goodPiensa que eres cosa buena
In your coastal lifeDe tu vida costañera

Shake, shake your waistCimbra cimbra tu cintura
Have you forgotten your sorrows?¿Olvidaste ya tus penas?
Think that you’re something goodPiensa que eres cosa buena
In your coastal lifeDe tu vida costañera

Talking aloneConversando a solas
With her river friendCon su río amigo
Just how she likes itComo a ella le gusta
Resting on the sandDescansar la arena
Tried to explain to herTrate de explicarle
About her love affairsDe sus amoríos
And in her nest, crying, she begs you to returnY en su nido llanto le ruega que vuelvas

The candles light up in the little shackSe encienden las velas en el rancherio
The drums soundSuenan los tambores
Rhythm blazing hotRitmo al rojo vivo
In a circle formedEn rueda fromadas
With the shoutingCon el griterio
They anxiously call you to come back with themAnsiosos te llaman que vuelvas con ellos

Shake, shake your waistCimbra cimbra tu cintura
Have you forgotten your sorrows?¿Olvidaste ya tus penas?
Think that you’re something goodPiensa que eres cosa buena
In your coastal lifeDe tu vida costañera

Have you forgotten your sorrows?¿Olvidaste ya tus penas?
Think that you’re something goodPiensa que eres cosa buena
In your coastal lifeDe tu vida costañera
