The canoe, the canoe (x2)La piragua, la piragua (x2)
The grandparents told me that a long time ago,Me contaron los abuelos que hace tiempo,
A canoe sailed on the river.En el río navegaba una piragua.
That departed from the bank to the old portQue partía de el banco hacia viejo puerto
To the beaches of love in Chimichagua.A las playas del amor en chimichagua.

Braving the gale, it trembled,Capoteando el vendaval se estremecía,
Impatiently defying the storm.Impacible desafiaba la tormenta.
And an army of stars followed it,Y un ejército de estrellas le seguía,
Studding it with light and legend.Tachonándola de luz y de leyenda.
