Lyrics

Un medioda que estuve pensando
Un medioda que estuve pensando
En la mujer que me haca soar
Las aguas claras del Ro Tocaimo
Me dieron fuerzas para cantar
Lleg de pronto a mi pensamiento
Esa bella meloda
Y como nada tena
La aprovech en el momento
La aprovech en el momento
Este paseo es de Leandro Daz
Este paseo es de Leandro Daz
Pero parece de Emilianito
Tiene los versos muy chiquiticos
Y bajiticos de meloda
Tiene una nota muy recogida
Que no parece hecho mo Y era que estaba en el ro
Pensando en Matilde Lina
Pensando en Matilde Lina
Este sentimiento se hizo ms grande
Este sentimiento se hizo ms grande
Que palpitaba mi corazn
El bello canto de los turpiales
Me acompaaba esta cancin
Cancin del alma, cancin querida
Que para m fue sublime
Al recordarte Matilde
Sent temor por mi vida
Sent temor por mi vida
Si ven que un hombre llega a la Jagua
Si ven que un hombre llega a la Jagua
Coge camino y se va pael Plan
Est pendiente que en la Sabana
Vive una hembra muy popular
Es elegante todos la admiran
Y en su tierra fama
Cuando Matilde camina
Hasta sonre la Sabana
Hasta sonre la Sabana

Lyrics translation

A medium I've been thinking
A medium I've been thinking
In the woman who makes me sound
The clear waters of Ro Tocaimo
They gave me strength to sing
I suddenly come to my thought
That beautiful meloda
And as nothing had
Take advantage of it in the moment
Take advantage of it in the moment
This walk is by Leandro Daz
This walk is by Leandro Daz
But it looks like Emilianito
It has very small verses
And bajiticos of meloda
It has a very collected note
It does not seem done mo and was that it was in the ro
Thinking of Matilde Lina
Thinking of Matilde Lina
This feeling got bigger
This feeling got bigger
That my heart was pounding
The beautiful song of the turpiales
I was with this cancin
Cancin del alma, cancin dearest
That for m was sublime
By reminding you Matilde
I feel fear for my life
I feel fear for my life
If you see a man coming to the Jagua
If you see a man coming to the Jagua
Take the road and go pael Plan
Is sloping than on the Savannah
Lives a very popular female
It's elegant. everyone admires it.
And in his Land fame
When Matilde walks
Even the Savannah Smiles
Even the Savannah Smiles
