Lyrics

El junco de la ribera
Y el doble junco del agua
En el país de un estanque
Donde el día se mojaba
El junco de la rivera
Y el doble junco del agua
Donde volaban, inversas
Palomas de inversas alas
El estanque era un océano
Para mi barco pirata:
Mi barco que por las tardes
En un lucero se anclaba
Mi barco de niño pobre
Que me trajeron por pascua
Y que hoy surca este romance
Con velas anaranjadas
Al río del pueblo, un día
Llevé mi barco pirata
Lo dejé anclado en la orilla
Para hacerle una ensenada;
Mas lo llamó la corriente
Con su telégrafo de aguas
Y huyó pintando la tarde
De letras anaranjadas
Dos lágrimas me trizaron
Las mejillas desoladas
En la cubierta del barco
Se fué, llorando, mi infancia

Lyrics translation

The Ribera Reed
And the double reed of water
In the country of a pond
Where the day got wet
The Rivera Reed
And the double reed of water
Where they flew, inverse
Inverse wing pigeons
The pond was an ocean
For my pirate ship:
My boat that in the evenings
On a nightlight was anchored
My poor boy's boat
Who brought me for Easter
And that today furrows this romance
With orange candles
To the village River, one day
I took my pirate ship.
I left it anchored to the shore.
To make it a cove;
But the current called it
With its water Telegraph
And ran away painting the afternoon
Of orange letters
Two tears cut through me
The desolate cheeks
On the deck of the boat
Gone, crying, my childhood
