Cumbia Compañera

Tell the cumbia, the one and only from the Cali group,
Cumbia companion of my lonely nights,
Deserted of dreams, thinking of my love.
Oh cumbia, you give me comfort,
And in my sad notes, my accordion cries.
What a feeling, accordion, cumbia companion.
If you see my beloved, tell her I’m waiting,
And that I live for her.
Oh cumbia, I carry this message so she knows.

How great is my love, this is my sad cumbia,
For my love, it’s a lament.
If you see her one day,
Tell my life that I’m waiting for her.
Come on, go and tell cumbia,
That I’m waiting for my life.
