Momposina

My life depends on a rose,
She is beautiful and even though she has thorns
I'm going to take her to my little ranch
Because my Momposina rose is very pretty
She has given me all the inspiration
That my song has, that's why I love her
She has given me all the inspiration
For my beautiful folklore, that's why she's my guiding star
But if the other gardener arrives,
And even if he says he's pure from Banqueño,
I won't allow him to even look at her,
Because he already knows that I am her owner

Momposina, come to my little ranch Momposina,
come so I can love you Momposina,
lovely little star Momposina, I want to have you (Repeat)
