One afternoon I was thinkingUn mediodía que estuve pensando
One afternoon I was thinkingUn mediodía que estuve pensando
In the woman who made me dreamEn la mujer que me hacía soñar
The clear waters of the Tocaimo RiverLas aguas claras del Río Tocaimo
They gave me strength to singMe dieron fuerzas para cantar

(It suddenly came to my mind)(Llegó de pronto a mi pensamiento)
(That beautiful melody)(Esa bella melodía)

And since I had nothingY como nada tenía
I took advantage of it at the momentLa aproveché en el momento
(And since I had nothing(Y como nada tenía
I took advantage of it at the time)La aproveché en el momento)

This walk is by Leandro DíazEste paseo es de Leandro Díaz

But it looks like Emilianito'sPero parece de Emilianito
It has very small versesTiene los versos muy chiquiticos
And little melody notesY bajiticos de melodía

(It has a very collected note)(Tiene una nota muy recogida)
(That doesn't seem like it was my doing)(Que no parece hecho mío)

And it was that I was in the riverY era que estaba en el río
Thinking about Matilde LinaPensando en Matilde Lina
(And it was that I was in the river)(Y era que estaba en el río)
(Thinking of Matilde Lina)(Pensando en Matilde Lina)

This feeling grew biggerEste sentimiento se hizo más grande
This feeling grew biggerEste sentimiento se hizo más grande
That my heart was beatingQue palpitaba mi corazón
The beautiful song of the troupialsEl bello canto de los turpiales
This song accompanied meMe acompañaba esta canción

(Song of the soul, beloved song)(Canción del alma, canción querida)
(Which for me was sublime)(Que para mí fue sublime)

Remembering you MatildeAl recordarte Matilde
I felt fear for my lifeSentí temor por mi vida
(Remembering you Matilde)(Al recordarte Matilde)
(I felt fear for my life)(Sentí temor por mi vida)

If you see a man arrive at the JaguaSi ven que un hombre llega a la Jagua
If you see a man arrive at the JaguaSi ven que un hombre llega a la Jagua
He takes the road and goes to the PlanCoge camino y se va pa' el Plan
It is pending that in the SavannahEstá pendiente que en la Sabana
A very popular female livesVive una hembra muy popular

(She is elegant, everyone admires her)(Es elegante todos la admiran)
(And fame in his land)(Y en su tierra fama)

When Matilda walksCuando Matilde camina
Even the Savannah smilesHasta sonríe la Sabana
(When Matilde walks)(Cuando Matilde camina)
(Even the Savannah smiles)(Hasta sonríe la Sabana)
