Costañera
Bañada por soles
Tu negra cabellera
Rociada por la espuma
Del río Magdalena
Con el viento fuerte
Y envuelta en la brisa
Ansiosa y sedienta
Va por la ribera
Con el viento fuerte
Y envuelta en la brisa
Ansiosa y sedienta
Va por la ribera
Cimbra cimbra tu cintura
¿Olvidaste ya tus penas?
Piensa que eres cosa buena
De tu vida costañera
Cimbra cimbra tu cintura
¿Olvidaste ya tus penas?
Piensa que eres cosa buena
De tu vida costañera
Conversando a solas
Con su río amigo
Como a ella le gusta
Descansar la arena
Trate de explicarle
De sus amoríos
Y en su nido llanto le ruega que vuelvas
Se encienden las velas en el rancherio
Suenan los tambores
Ritmo al rojo vivo
En rueda fromadas
Con el griterio
Ansiosos te llaman que vuelvas con ellos
Cimbra cimbra tu cintura
¿Olvidaste ya tus penas?
Piensa que eres cosa buena
De tu vida costañera
Cimbra cimbra tu cintura
¿Olvidaste ya tus penas?
Piensa que eres cosa buena
De tu vida costañera
Coastline
Bathed in sunlight
Your dark hair
Sprayed by the foam
Of the Magdalena River
With the strong wind
And wrapped in the breeze
Eager and thirsty
She walks by the shore
With the strong wind
And wrapped in the breeze
Eager and thirsty
She walks by the shore
Shake, shake your waist
Have you forgotten your sorrows?
Think that you’re something good
In your coastal life
Shake, shake your waist
Have you forgotten your sorrows?
Think that you’re something good
In your coastal life
Talking alone
With her river friend
Just how she likes it
Resting on the sand
Tried to explain to her
About her love affairs
And in her nest, crying, she begs you to return
The candles light up in the little shack
The drums sound
Rhythm blazing hot
In a circle formed
With the shouting
They anxiously call you to come back with them
Shake, shake your waist
Have you forgotten your sorrows?
Think that you’re something good
In your coastal life
Shake, shake your waist
Have you forgotten your sorrows?
Think that you’re something good
In your coastal life
