Lyrics

Translation

Orillitas del canal

By the edges of the canal

Cuando llega la mañana

When the morning comes

Sale cantando la noche

The night comes out singing

Desde lo del balderrama

From Balderrama's place

Sale cantando la noche

The night comes out singing

Desde lo del balderrama

From Balderrama's place


Adentro puro temblar

Inside, pure trembling

El bombo con la baguala

The drum with the baguala

Y se alborota quemado

And it gets stirred up, burning

Dele chispear la guitarra

Keep sparking the guitar


Lucero solito

Lone star

Brote del alma

Sprout of the soul

Donde iremos a parar

Where will we end up

Si se apaga balderrama

If Balderrama goes out


Si uno se pone a cantar

If one starts to sing

Un cochero lo acompaña

A coachman accompanies him

Y en cada vaso de vino

And in every glass of wine

Tiembla el lucero del alba

The morning star trembles


Zamba del amanecer

Zamba of the dawn

Arrullo de balderrama

Lullaby of Balderrama

Llora por la medianoche

Cries for midnight

Canta por la madrugada

Sings for the early morning
