Pedro Canoero [English translation]

Pedro the canoeist

All your time is gone

Over the old canoe

The river carried it for you slowly

Pedro the canoeist

You have not returned to the shore

You stayed in the canoe

Like an ageless goblin without memory

Pedro the canoeist

The water rocked you

Far from the shore

When you fell asleep

Pedro the canoeist

Heart made of clay

Over the canoe you lost your life.

Pedro the canoeist

You lost hope

Over the awoken water

Your hope, Pedro, in the end

Did not have shores.

Pedro the canoeist

The water rocked you

Far from the shore

When you fell asleep

Pedro the canoeist

Heart made of clay

Over the canoe you lost your life.
