I remember the morning that I saw you pass by
_____
Along Prado Street to the school
_____
Singing in the nirvana of your loneliness
_____
It seemed to me that your hair called to the wind
_____
The sea waves wait for you
Little girl in the pollera
_____
Your ship already hoisted its sails
_____
How well they dance, how well they dance
_____
How well the Barranquilla girls dance
_____
How well they dance, how well they dance
_____
With their waists, they move their skirts
_____
How well they dance, how well they dance
_____
That suddenly the party lit up
_____
How well they dance, how well they dance
_____
How well they dance along Vía 40
_____
The sea waves wait for you
Little girl in the pollera
_____
Your ship already hoisted its sails
_____
And you find a notebook and a crystal rose
_____
To the man who wears dark glasses
_____
And you turn to the mirror to start again
_____
Your smile blends with the moon
_____
The sea waves wait for you
Little girl in the pollera
_____
Your ship already hoisted its sails
_____
Goddess of the Orient, of the sun and the sand
_____
Take me to your forest where the sorrows are forgotten
_____
They say that they've seen him looking for zahenas
_____
Your Phoenician ship that sails to the Magdalena
