La Creceinte Del Cesar

The Rising of the Cesar River

La Creceinte Del Cesar

It's raining in the snowfallEsta lloviendo en la nevada
Up in ValleduparArriba en valledupar
I bet the Cesar RiverApuesto que el rio cesar
Rises in the early morningCrece por la madrugada

Malle, don't be afraidMalle no le tengas miedo
Of the rising of the CesarA la creciente del cesar
I will cross itQue yo lo voy a crusar
Through the Salguero bridgeEs por el puente de salguero

And if the river takes the bridgeY si el rio se lleva el puente
I'll find another way to see youBusco otro modo de verte
Because for my lovePor que pa'l cariño mio
A swollen river doesn't matterNada importa un rio crecido

I saw the Cesar River bring a drowned man in its currentYo vi al rio cesar traer en su corriente a un ahogao
And it was a man who was going to see his girlfriend on the other sideY era un hombre que iva a ver a su novia al otro lao
As the man was confused, Dr. Valle exclaimedComo el hombre iva bollao el doctor valle exclamo
Escalona drowned for being in loveEscalona y que se ahogo por andar de enamorao

And only one man dared to jump into the swollen CesarY solo un hombre atrevio se tira al cesar crecio
When that man jumped, it was clear he was in loveCuando ese hombre se a tirao claro estaba enamorao

In the Salguero curveEn la curva de salguero
I found an overturned truckYo encotre un camion voltiao
And the driver was running because he was in loveY el chofer iva corriendo por que estaba enamorao
I found him half dead with both legs brokenLo encotre contra matao con las dos piernas quebra
He told me it was nothing because he was in loveMe dijo que no era naa por que estaba enamorao

And that's what happened to the driver for loving a womanY eso le paso al chofer por querer a una mujer
And it could happen to me if you don't take pity on meY a mi me puede ocurrir hay si no te apiadas de mi

It's raining in the snowfallEsta lloviendo en la nevada
It's going to rain in the valleyEn el valle va a llover
And the lightning is seen like a fading candleY el relámpago se ve como vela que se apaga
If you don't want to consoleSi no quieres condolerte
My sorrow and my pain, I'll jump into the CesarDe mi pena y mi pesar me voy a tirar al cesar
So the current can drown mePa’ que me ahoge la corriente

And if the river takes the bridgeY si el rio se lleva el puente
I'll find another way to see youBusco otro modo de verte
Because for my love, a swollen river doesn't matterPor que pa’l cariño mio nada importa un rio crecio
