El Canoero
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema
Que rema y rema
Buscando la más linda
Que es mi morena
La busco para darle
Cositas buenas
Surcando por el huallaga
Me voy hacia el amazonas
Mirando de playa en playa
Todas las huellas que dejas tú
Me deslizo por los ríos
De mi linda si hermosa
Y busco de puerto en puerto
A mi linda charapita
Playera playera... playerita
Porque es que te vas… playerita
Con quien tú te vas… playerita
Y donde te vas… playerita
Este pobre canoero… viendo va
Este pobre canoero… viendo va
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema
Que rema y rema
Buscando la más linda
Que es mi morena
La busco para darle
Cositas buenas
Viajando por la montaña
Buscando a mi charapita
Llego al Río Marañón y no encuentro a mi morena
Yo divise la rivera
La espuma de aquel barco
Seguro que se me lleva
La mujercita que quiero tanto
Playera playera... playerita
A donde te vas… playerita
Te busco por el norte… playerita
Y donde estás… playerita
Este pobre canoero… viendo va
Este pobre canoero… viendo va
The Canoeman
I'm the canoeman who rows and rows
Who rows and rows
Searching for the prettiest
Who is my brown-skinned girl
I look for her to give
Her sweet little things
Gliding through the Huallaga
I head towards the Amazon
Looking from beach to beach
At all the footprints you leave
I slide down the rivers
Of my beautiful, lovely girl
And I search from port to port
For my lovely charapita
Beach girl, beach girl... little beach girl
Why are you leaving... little beach girl
Who are you leaving with... little beach girl
And where are you going... little beach girl
This poor canoeman... just watching
This poor canoeman... just watching
I'm the canoeman who rows and rows
Who rows and rows
Searching for the prettiest
Who is my brown-skinned girl
I look for her to give
Her sweet little things
Traveling through the mountains
Looking for my charapita
I reach the Marañón River and can't find my brown-skinned girl
I spotted the riverbank
The foam from that boat
Surely it’s taking away
The little woman I love so much
Beach girl, beach girl... little beach girl
Where are you going... little beach girl
I search for you in the north... little beach girl
And where are you... little beach girl
This poor canoeman... just watching
This poor canoeman... just watching
