Cumbia sobre el mar

Cumbia on the sea

Cumbia sobre el mar

Once I stayedUna vez me quedé
There asleep on the beachAhí dormido en la playa
And so I dreamedY así yo soñé
That from the sky descendedQue del cielo bajaba
A swarm of starsUn enjambre de estrellas
And the silver MoonY la Luna plateada
And the waves of the seaY las olas del mar
Splashed with their lightCon su luz salpicaba
Over the sea I sawSobre el mar divisé
I saw a cumbiambaDivisé una cumbiamba
That to the sound of drumsQue a sonar de tambores
Spun on the waterSobre el agua giraba
The pairs of starsLas parejas de estrellas
Carried with themCon esperma llevaban
Carousel of colorsCarrusel de colores
It seemed like the cumbiambaParecía la cumbiamba

And suddenly emergedY de pronto surgió
A long-awaited queenUna reina esperada
It was Marta, the queenEra Marta, la reina
That my mind dreamed ofQue mi mente soñaba
At her feet I saw the MoonA sus pies vi la Luna
The stars, the watersLas estrellas, las aguas
And a hymn of celebrationY un himno de fiesta
The palm trees sangLas palmeras cantaban

It was Marta, the queenEra Marta, la reina
That my mind dreamed ofQue mi mente soñaba
Carousel of colorsCarrusel de colores
It seemed like the cumbiambaParecía la cumbiamba

Oh loveAyy amor

And suddenly emergedY de pronto surgió
A long-awaited queenUna reina esperada
It was Marta, the queenEra Marta, la reina
That my mind dreamed ofQue mi mente soñaba
At her feet I saw the MoonA sus pies vi la Luna
The stars, the watersLas estrellas las aguas
And a hymn of celebrationY un himno de fiesta
The palm trees sangLas palmeras cantaban

It was Marta, the queenEra Marta, la reina
That my mind dreamed ofQue mi mente soñaba
Carousel of colorsCarrusel de colores
It seemed like the cumbiambaParecía la cumbiamba
It seemed like the cumbiambaParecía la cumbiamba
