Cautiva del rio [English translation]

I found you, my love, do you remember?

near the beach embracing the river

and lifting you in my arms,

I held you close to my warm breast,

like a sweet dove,

I gave you the cooing of my songs,

and love was born, like in an orchard,

in that ranch,

near the palm trees

[Refrain]

And since then, in this nest, imprisoned,

you live on the quiet river, in love...

the moon rises from the mountain,

it brings to the water

flashes of silver, and to your banks, happiness

A heron is like a handkerchief, thirsty for the sky,

going far, like a blossom that the wind

takes from the field of cotton;

in the secluded plantation, the evening died,

green and purple, night fell,

enveloped in jasmines,

and it found you happy, near the palm trees...

[Refrain]

And since then, in this nest, imprisoned,

you live on the quiet river, in love...

the moon rises from the mountain,

it brings to the water

flashes of silver, and to your eyes, happiness
