Cumbia Martha La Reina
Cumbias Poblanas
Lyrics
Translation
Una vez me quedé
Once I stayed
Ahí dormido en la playa
There asleep on the beach
Y ahí yo soñé
And there I dreamed
Que en el cielo bajaba
That from the sky descended
Un enjambre de estrellas
A swarm of stars
Y una Luna plateada
And a silvery moon
Y a las olas del mar
And on the waves of the sea
Con su luz salpicaba
It splashed with its light
Sobre el mar divisé
Over the sea, I saw
Divisé una cumbiamba
I saw a cumbia
Que al sonar de tambores
That, to the sound of drums
Sobre el agua giraban
On the water, spun
Las parejas de estrellas
The couples of stars
Por millones llevaban
Carrying them by the millions
Carrusel de colores
Carousel of colors
Que parecían la cumbiamba
That seemed like the cumbia
Y de pronto surgió
And suddenly emerged
Una reina esperada
A long-awaited queen
Era Martha la Reina
It was Martha the Queen
Que mi mente soñaba
That my mind dreamed of
Era Martha la Reina
It was Martha the Queen
Que mi mente soñaba
That my mind dreamed of
Y de pronto surgió
And suddenly emerged
Una reina esperada
A long-awaited queen
Era Martha la Reina
It was Martha the Queen
Que mi mente soñaba
That my mind dreamed of
A sus pies vi la Luna
At her feet, I saw the moon
Las estrellas, las aguas
The stars, the waters
Y un himno de fiesta
And a hymn of celebration
Las palmeras cantaban
The palm trees sang
Era Martha la Reina
It was Martha the Queen
Que en mi mente soñaba
That in my mind I dreamed of
Carrusel de colores
Carousel of colors
Parecian la cumbiamba
They seemed like the cumbia
Carrusel de colores
Carousel of colors
Parecian la cumbiamba
They seemed like the cumbia
