Under the western sky
Down flows the crystal river
And breaking through the current
_____
Because it witnesses the life that runs out
_____
It recalls the way to its hut
_____
From the valley up to the hills
_____
You're always there when I sigh
_____
I won't let your will wither
_____
Where the mangrove kisses the fierce sea
With your love, the spring
Was growing up in this land
_____
Of people that love you with their soul
Of getting to know you again
_____
And even though we were children of war
We learned little by little
_____
That peace is born again
_____
In my little boat I go rowing
With my hammock and my basket
If there's a fish run, I get up
For my people I play the cununo
I play the marimba and savor
