Rio abajo va

Down the river goes
The lovely flower that one day
Killed my joys
And my illusion of love

And my illusion of love

How far will it go
The perfumed rose
Of all flowers the most beautiful
Oh lovely flower
What will be its end

What will be its end

They say that one day
A fisherman
With his net extended
Got caught by the flower
And she was so lovely and beautiful
That he fell in love with her
And to preserve her, he let her go down the river

And to preserve her, he let her go down the river

And to preserve her, he let her go down the river
Down the river goes the flower that once belonged to me

I'm going to the river today is my day
To see if I find floating the rose
That I left one day

Crystal clear water that washes your life
And in which you travel like a lost ship

And that's what happens to the dominant woman
That one observes her, tests her
And continues as confident as ever

To not suffer what others have suffered
Decisions that he made
Give a lot, lose a little

Solitude is worth more
Than bad company
Thought of that man
That repeated in his mind

Love him as he loves you
Respond to him with the same affection
And make him happy

Pamper him as he pampers you
Because if not
There will be no serenade for you

Love him as he loves you
It's just that if you are a stick in the mud mulatto
I am spicy like chili

Pamper him as he pampers you
How he pampers you, how he adores you
How he wants to have you

Love him as he loves you
As supposedly should give love
To a man, a woman

Pamper him as he pampers you
That down the river goes the flower
