Balderrama [English translation]

On the side of the channel

When morning comes

The night comes out singing

From Balderrama's house

Inside is all trembling

The drum with the baguala

And it gets disturbed, burning

Sparking the guitar

Bright star, alone

Outbreak of the sunrise

Where are we going to end up

If Balderrama's light turns off

If one starts singing

A coachaman accompanies them

And in every glass of wine

The bright star of the sunrise trembles

Zamba of the dawn

Lullaby of Balderrama

Sings at midnight

Cries at dawning.
