La Piragua
Me contaron los abuelos que hace
Tiempo
Navegaba sin cesar una piragua
Y salía del banco viejo puerto
A las playas de amor en chimichagua
Chapoteando el vendaval
Se estremecía
Impasible desafiaba la tormenta
Y un ejército de estrellas la seguía
Tachonándola de luz y de leyenda
Era la piragua de guillermo cubillo
Era la piragua era la piragua
The Canoe
My grandparents told me that long ago
A canoe sailed endlessly
And left the old bank port
To the beaches of love in Chimichagua
Splashing through the gale
It shuddered
Impassively defying the storm
And an army of stars followed it
Studding it with light and legend
It was Guillermo Cubillo's canoe
It was the canoe, it was the canoe
