Porque le debo mucho

Porque curó mis penas y está herida por mis balas

Yo sé que por la suerte de tus hijos no descansas

Te pido me perdones si te dañaron mis faltas

Voy a ararte con mis besos para alegrar tus entrañas

Voy a bajar al estero, voy a subir tus montañas
I'm going down to the estuary, I'm going to climb your mountains
Voy a cuidarte, Colombia, como se cuida a una dama
I'm going to take care of you, Colombia, as you take care of a lady
Porque nunca entendimos

¿Con quién dormiste anoche? Que no me quieres hablar

En el Paso Real de Arauca me salieron a matar

Me salieron a matar
They went out to kill me
Con una pistola de agua, una bala de cristal
With a water gun, a crystal bullet
Con un cuchillo de palo sin punta y sin amolar
With a stick knife without tip and without grinding
Y así es como a mí me gusta, y así es como a mí me agrada
And that's how I like it, and that's how I like it.
Y así es como a mí me agrada
And that's how I like it
Un cinco a la media noche y un seis a la madrugada
A five at midnight and a six at dawn
Y el picure con la yuca, y el pan con la carne asada
And the picure with the yucca, and the bread with the roast meat
Y el pan con la carne asada
And bread with roast meat
Que yo vine aquí es pa' fiesta, más le ruego que dé gana
That I came here is pa' party, but I beg you to feel like it
Pa' darle gusto a un amigo y complacer a una dama
