Cumbia sobre el mar

Once I stayed
There asleep on the beach
And so I dreamed
That from the sky descended
A swarm of stars
And the silver Moon
And the waves of the sea
Splashed with their light
Over the sea I saw
I saw a cumbiamba
That to the sound of drums
Spun on the water
The pairs of stars
Carried with them
Carousel of colors
It seemed like the cumbiamba

And suddenly emerged
A long-awaited queen
It was Marta, the queen
That my mind dreamed of
At her feet I saw the Moon
The stars, the waters
And a hymn of celebration
The palm trees sang

It was Marta, the queen
That my mind dreamed of
Carousel of colors
It seemed like the cumbiamba

Oh love

And suddenly emerged
A long-awaited queen
It was Marta, the queen
That my mind dreamed of
At her feet I saw the Moon
The stars, the waters
And a hymn of celebration
The palm trees sang

It was Marta, the queen
That my mind dreamed of
Carousel of colors
It seemed like the cumbiamba
It seemed like the cumbiamba
