Mi Barquito de Esquelita
Aipo'o, amoîta che popytépe hyakuâ asýva ko reseda
Nde rekoviárônte che ahêtûta flor aromada nde joguaha
Tal vez ñande jandaikatuvéima che despreciágui upe nde sy
Tahánte che rosa del alma ani che causa reiko asy
Ysyrymírente ajevaléta la che mensaje arahauka
En un barquito la che esquelita pe reikóvo teretopa
Ha upekuévo ahypyimíta Villa San Pedro che resay
Pépe onaségui la ahayhuetéva ombojojáva pe kuarahy
Adiós barquito nde jarehóma con confianza rejejokuái
Noticia triste ne cargamento para la rosa del Paraguay
Tal vez ñande jandaikatuvéima che despreciágui upe nde sy
Tahánte che rosa del alma ani che causa reiko asy
My Little Boat from Esquelita
Aipo'o, I’m feeling like I’m lost in the weeds
Your life is like a fragrant flower in my hands
Maybe we could have been something more, but you turned away from me
Don’t let my soul’s rose cause you pain
I’ll send my message like a whisper in the wind
In a little boat, I’m sailing away, drifting far
And when I get to Villa San Pedro, I’ll be alright
Here, the one I love shines bright like the sun
Goodbye little boat, you’re leaving with hope in your heart
Sad news, your cargo is for the rose of Paraguay
Maybe we could have been something more, but you turned away from me
Don’t let my soul’s rose cause you pain
