Translation
Yo soy el canoero que rema y rema
I am the boatman who rows and rows
Que rema y rema
Who rows and rows
Buscando la más linda
Searching for the most beautiful
Que es mi morena
Who is my brunette
La busco para darle
I look for her to give her
Cositas buenas
Little good things
Surcando por el huallaga
Sailing through the Huallaga
Me voy hacia el amazonas
I go towards the Amazon
Mirando de playa en playa
Looking from beach to beach
Todas las huellas que dejas tú
All the traces you leave
Me deslizo por los ríos
I slide through the rivers
De mi linda si hermosa
Of my beautiful if beautiful
Y busco de puerto en puerto
And I search from port to port
A mi linda charapita
For my lovely "charapita"
Playera playera... playerita
Beach, beach... little beach
Porque es que te vas… playerita
Because you are leaving... little beach
Con quien tú te vas… playerita
With whom are you leaving... little beach
Y donde te vas… playerita
And where are you going... little beach
Este pobre canoero… viendo va
This poor boatman... watches
Este pobre canoero… viendo va

Viajando por la montaña

Buscando a mi charapita

Llego al Río Marañón y no encuentro a mi morena

Yo divise la rivera
I saw the riverbank
La espuma de aquel barco

Seguro que se me lleva
Surely it takes away from me
La mujercita que quiero tanto
