Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Balderrama by Diego el Cigala from Spanish to English.
A orillitas del canal
On the banks of the canal
Cuando llega la mañana
When the morning comes
Sale cantando la noche
The night comes out singing
Desde lo de Balderrama
Since Balderrama
Adentro puro temblor
Inside pure trembling
El bombo con la baguala
The hype with the baguala
Y se alborota quemando
And it riots burning
Dele chispear la guitarra
Let the guitar spark
Lucero, solito
Lucero, alone
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 singing
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
Dawn Zamba
Arrullo de Balderrama
Balderrama Lullaby
Canta por la medianoche
Sing at midnight
Llora por la madrugada
Cry at dawn
