Corrientes Poty

Beautiful dark girlMorenita iporãva
Who rocks my dreamsQue meces mi sueño
With your charmCon tu mbaraka
Corrientes flowerYvoty correntina
Your lips on fireTu boca encendida
Like a pink roseDe rosa pytã
Lovely ladyKuñataî porã
You pierced me fiercely with loveMe hirió tenaz de amor
When I heard you singCuando te oí cantar
Shaking with emotionTemblando de emoción

Your mouth that has noNde juru que no tiene
More beautiful than the VirginMás linda la Virgen
That’s in ItatíQue está en Itatí
For a kiss, I’d givePor besarla daría
My life with a smileSonriente la vida
My sweet flowerMi dulce yvoty
Since I heard your voiceDesde que oí tu voz
I felt a longingSentí un afán
That will blindQue ha de cegar
In the end, I cry for youAl fin de llanto che resa

Not even the Iberá lagoonNi la laguna Iberá
Will have a greater mysteryTendrá misterio mayor
Than that deepQue ese profundo
Of your prayersDe nde resa
Nor is the yatay sweeterNi es más dulzón el yatay
Than the flame of loveQue la llamita de amor
Always burningSiempre encendida
With your gazeCon tu mirar

Corrientes flowerYvoty correntina
That shines on your faceQue luce en la cara
Two pink rosesDos rosas pytã
From the freshest mouthDe la boca más fresca
Than the bloody cutQue el tajo sangriento
That stains the ceibalQue tiñe el ceibal
Lovely ladyKuñataî porã
Dark-skinned, my loveMorena che amami
I’ll die of loveHe de morir de amor
If you’re not for meSi no eres para mí

Corrientes flowerYvoty correntina
Tied to the stringsPrendida al cordaje
Of your charmDe tu mbaraka
Just looking at you kills mePor mirarlos me matan
With sweet tormentCon dulce tormento
Your eyes, girlTus ojos, kamba
Since I saw youDesde que yo te vi
Love pierced meMe hirió el amor
And it will bleedY ha de sangrar
For you, my poor heartPor ti mi pobre corazón

Not even the Iberá lagoonNi la laguna Iberá
Will have a greater mysteryTendrá misterio mayor
Than that deepQue ese profundo
Of your prayersDe nde resa
Nor is the yatay sweeterNi es más dulzón el yatay
Than the flame of loveQue la llamita de amor
Always burningSiempre encendida
With your gazeCon tu mirar
