Matilde Lina

One noon when I was thinking
About the woman who made me dream
The clear waters of the Tocaimo River
Gave me strength to sing.

Suddenly came to my mind
That beautiful melody
And since I had nothing
I took advantage of it at the moment

This stroll is by Leandro Díaz
But it seems like Emilianito's
It has very tiny verses
And a low melody.

It has a very restrained note
That doesn't seem like mine
And it was because I was by the river
Thinking about Matilde Lina

This feeling grew stronger
My heart was beating
The beautiful song of the orioles
Accompanied me with this song.

Song of the soul, beloved song
That was sublime to me.
Remembering you, Matilde
I felt fear for my life

If you see a man arrive at La Jagua
Take the road and go to the Plan
Be aware that in the savannah
Lives a very popular woman.

She is elegant, everyone admires her
And in her town she is famous
When Matilde walks
Even the savannah smiles
