Jangadero (part. Mercedes Sosa)

(So much time with your uncle, right?)
(How long have I known him, huh?) (down the river I’m taking the raft)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re in Raftman, right?) (Down the river, through the Upper Paraná)
(Raftman, raftman)
(Of course, it has to come out on the first try, huh?)

Down the river I’m taking the raft
Down the river, through the Upper Paraná
It’s the weight of the fallen shadow
That, searching for the horizon, will go down

Down the river, down the river, down the river
On the water’s surface, I’m bleeding this song
In the dream of life and work
My heart turns into water hyacinth

Raftman, raftman

My destiny on the river is to drift
From the depths of the lumber mill
With the longing for the water that flows away
From the depths of the lumber mill
With the longing for the water that flows away

Father river, your scales of living gold
Are the fever that takes me beyond
I chase after your fleeting horizon
And the blood, with the water, flows away

Band, band, Sun and Moon, sky and water
A mirage that never seems to fade
Clay skin, fabulous lampalagua
The passion to navigate devours me

Raftman, raftman
Raftman, raftman

My destiny on the river is to drift (raftman)
From the depths of the lumber mill
With the longing for the water that flows away
From the depths of the lumber mill
With the longing for the water
That flows away

(We got it in one, huh?)
(Got it in one, huh, hahaha)
(How beautiful) (thank you very much)
(How beautiful, no, no, beautiful, beautiful)

(How beautiful)

I see you, I dream of you, and I miss you
