Acuarela del Río

Watercolor of the River

Acuarela del Río

A little tapirUn canilla poí
A raft, a sheathUna balsa, una guaina
A flower in the riverUna flor en el río
A landscape of skyUn paisaje de cielo
Reflect the waters of the great ParanáReflejan las aguas del gran Paraná
Beyond, a water hyacinthMás allá, un camalote
Is floating towards the shoreVa flotando hacia la orilla
That tree-lined with willowsQue arbolada de sauces
Invites us to dreamNos invita a soñar

Watercolor of the riverAcuarela del río
That paints with lightsQue pintas de luces
My beautiful romanceMi lindo romance
In the world there is no frameEn el mundo no hay marco
More divine and beautifulMás divino y bello
For our lovePara nuestro amor
With its SunCon su Sol
With its warm huesCon sus cálidos matices
With its perfumed breezeCon su brisa perfumada
In magical glowEn mágico arrebol
Of a slow sunsetDe un lento atardecer

Adrift, the boat goesA la deriva, el bote va
With my beloved on the riverCon mi amada por el río
Rocking us, with its swayMeciéndonos, con su vaivén
That sets the pace for our loveQue acompasa nuestro amor
And leaning on my shoulderY apoyada en mi hombro
She whispers in my earMe murmura al oído
While I kiss her handsMientras beso sus manos
Complete my happinessCompletan mi dicha
Scents of orange blossomAromas de azahar

With its Sun, a water hyacinthCon su Sol, un camalote
Is floating towards the shoreVa flotando hacia la orilla
That tree-lined with willowsQue arbolada de sauces
Invites us to dreamNos invita a soñar
