Lyrics
Brilllante luna de abril
Cancin de la Magdalena
La brisa trajo hasta aqu
Rumores de cosas buenas
Tu fragancia de alhel
Tu cuerpo en la primavera
Esas de ganas de vivir
Dejar tu rastro en la arena
No llores Renunciacin
Ya estn por venir las fiestas
La Santa Cruz de Monpox
Que luce tu cabellera
Te tengo en mi habitacin
Adornada con estrellas
Mi mano en tu corazn
Y al son de las pilanderas
Lleva tu pareja
A la fiesta de la iguana
Luce tu pollera
Con la cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
Luce tu pollera
Yo quiero vivir aqu
En esta tierra sagrada
Volver a nacer aqu
En esta tierra olvidada
Estaba pensando en ti
Y no saba donde estabas
Pa tus penas escrib
Esta cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
A la fiesta de la iguana
Luce tu pollera
Con la cumbia americana
Lleva tu pareja
Luce tu pollera
Lyrics translation
Bright April Moon
Cancin de la Magdalena
The breeze brought up here
Rumors of good things
Your alhel fragrance
Your body in the spring
Those wanting to live
Leave your trail in the sand
Don't cry renunciation
The holidays are already coming
The Holy Cross of Monpox
That looks like your hair
I got you in my room.
Decorated with stars
My hand in your heart
And to the sound of the pilanderas
Take your partner
To the feast of the iguana
Light your skirt
With American cumbia
Take your partner
Light your skirt
I want to live here
In this sacred land
Born again here
In this forgotten land
I was thinking about you
And I didn't know where you were.
For your sorrows write
This American cumbia
Take your partner
To the feast of the iguana
Light your skirt
With American cumbia
Take your partner
Light your skirt
