La Hamaca Grande
Carlos Vives
The Big Hammock
Music: Big Hammock
Singer: Carlos Vives
Compadre Ramón (repeat)
I pay him a visit
so he accepts my invitation
I want with affection
to take chests of silver to the Valley
A beautiful serenade
with accordion music (repeat)
With notes and folklore
from the land of the hammock
Accompany me (repeat)
to a necklace of San Jacinto cumbia
I carry in my song
with Adolfo Pacheco
and an old song by Toño Fernandez
And I bring a Big Hammock
bigger than the Maco hill (repeat)
So that the Vallenato town
singing while swinging on it
And I will get (repeat)
a Parofo Indian
and his old gaita that only tells
sacred stories
that ancestors' memories hide
So that he plays beautifully
and it is said when he comes (repeat)
That he also has a legend
like that of Francisco el Hombre.
