Matilde Lina

One midday I was thinking
One midday I was thinking
About the woman who makes me dream
The clear waters of the Tocaimo River
Gave me strength to sing

Suddenly came to my mind
This beautiful melody
And since I had nothing
I took advantage of it at the moment
And since I had nothing
I took advantage of it at the moment

This stroll belongs to Leandro Díaz
This stroll belongs to Leandro Díaz
But it seems like Emilianito's
It has very tiny verses
And a low melody

It has a well-captured note
That doesn't seem like my own

And it was that I was by the river
Thinking about Matilde Lina
And it was that I was by the river
Thinking about Matilde Lina
Oh Colombian

The feeling grew stronger
The feeling grew stronger
That my heart was beating
The beautiful song of the orioles
Accompanied me with a song

Song of the soul, beloved song
That was sublime to me

Remembering you, Matilde
I felt fear for my life
Remembering you, Matilde
I felt fear for my life

If you see a man arriving at La Jagua
If you see a man arriving at La Jagua
He takes the road and goes to sing

Be aware that in the Savanna
There lives a very popular woman
Elegant, admired by all
In her land, famous

When Matilde walks
Even the Savanna smiles
When Matilde walks
Even the Savanna smiles
