Lyrics
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
Todo es hermoso y constante
Todo es música y razón
Y todo es como el diamante
Antes que luz es carbón
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
Yo sé de un penar profundo
Entre las penas sin nombre
La esclavitud de los hombres
Es la gran pena del mundo
Yo quiero cuando me muera
Sin patria, pero sin amo
Tener en mi losa un ramo
De flores y una bandera
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
Lyrics translation
Let the paddle get lost by the sea
(Canoero, canoero)
Let the paddle get lost by the sea
Everything is beautiful and constant
Everything is music and reason
And everything is like the diamond
Before light is coal
(Canoero, canoero)
Let the paddle get lost by the sea
(Canoero, canoero)
Let the paddle get lost by the sea
I know of a deep sorrow
Among the nameless penalties
Slavery of men
It is the great sorrow of the world
I want when I die
Without a homeland, but without a master
Have on my slab a bouquet
Of flowers and a flag
(Canoero, canoero)
Let the paddle get lost by the sea
(Canoero, canoero)
Let the paddle get lost by the sea
(Canoero, canoero)
Let the paddle get lost by the sea
(Canoero, canoero)
Let the paddle get lost by the sea
