Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Matilde Lina by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.
Un mediodía que estuve pensando

En la mujer que me hacía soñar

Las aguas claras del Río Tocaimo

Me dieron fuerzas para cantar

Llegó de pronto a mi pensamiento
Suddenly came to my mind
Esa bella melodía

Y como nada tenía
And since I had nothing
La aproveché en el momento

Y como nada tenía

Tiene los versos muy chiquiticos
