Isla Y Piragua

Oh little Virgin of the Valley
I want to go to your party
my little Virgin of the Valley
I want to sing at your party
a song for your island
for the beautiful Margarita
that they want to turn into
an experimental peninsula
(an experimental peninsula)

I sing to you with love
kissing you on the forehead
a song that captures
all the love of your people
who throw themselves into the sea
filling the blue with sails
and whoever can sail
never needs a bridge
and whoever can sail
never needs a bridge
(bridge is not needed)

The canoe rears up
jumping over the wave
and the Virgin, so cheerful
is happy with the leap
Island and canoe are one
since the story was born
and the Virgin gets dizzy
if they take her in a gondola
and the Virgin gets dizzy
if they take her in a gondola
(in a gondola she gets dizzy)

Let the big boat rise
the polo and the malagueña
because God made Margarita
an island to be loved
Grab the cuatro, Chico Mata
Hernán Marín sings loud
because whoever can sail
who has pearl-like teeth
who has pearl-like teeth
never needs a bridge
Bridge is not needed.
