Romance de Barco y Junco

The reed of the riverbank
And the double reed of the water
In the land of a pond
Where the day got wet
The reed of the riverbank
And the double reed of the water
Where flew, inverse
Doves with inverse wings

The pond was an ocean
For my pirate ship
My ship that in the afternoons
Anchored to a star
My ship of a poor child
That they brought me for Easter
And that today sails this romance
With orange sails

To the river of the town, one day
I took my pirate ship
I left it anchored on the shore
To make a cove
But the current called it
With its water telegraph
And it fled painting the evening
With orange letters

Two tears split me
The desolate cheeks
On the deck of the ship
My childhood went away, crying

The reed of the riverbank
And the double reed of the water
In the land of a pond
Where the day got wet
