Mi Barquito de Esquelita

My Little Boat from Esquelita

Mi Barquito de Esquelita

Aipo'o, I’m feeling like I’m lost in the weedsAipo'o, amoîta che popytépe hyakuâ asýva ko reseda
Your life is like a fragrant flower in my handsNde rekoviárônte che ahêtûta flor aromada nde joguaha
Maybe we could have been something more, but you turned away from meTal vez ñande jandaikatuvéima che despreciágui upe nde sy
Don’t let my soul’s rose cause you painTahánte che rosa del alma ani che causa reiko asy

I’ll send my message like a whisper in the windYsyrymírente ajevaléta la che mensaje arahauka
In a little boat, I’m sailing away, drifting farEn un barquito la che esquelita pe reikóvo teretopa
And when I get to Villa San Pedro, I’ll be alrightHa upekuévo ahypyimíta Villa San Pedro che resay
Here, the one I love shines bright like the sunPépe onaségui la ahayhuetéva ombojojáva pe kuarahy

Goodbye little boat, you’re leaving with hope in your heartAdiós barquito nde jarehóma con confianza rejejokuái
Sad news, your cargo is for the rose of ParaguayNoticia triste ne cargamento para la rosa del Paraguay
Maybe we could have been something more, but you turned away from meTal vez ñande jandaikatuvéima che despreciágui upe nde sy
Don’t let my soul’s rose cause you painTahánte che rosa del alma ani che causa reiko asy
