Ondas del Arauca

One day the waves of Arauca
Oh Arauca
Saw my pain go by
With the murmur of the water
Oh the water
The sadness of my love
With a siren's song
I felt my heart
Remembering that romance
That was only an illusion
And a trail of bitterness
Passed over my song
Over the waves of the river
When the sun was setting

And the breezes of the afternoon
With verses of reverie
Played on the banks
With songs of emotion

The serene night came
Oh serene with its perfume of love
But my eyes cried
Oh they cried with tears of pain
The memories were killing me
Of a soul without a heart
Knowing that I loved her
She repaid me with betrayal
Some sing their joy
I sing my heartbreak
With the dagger of romance
I will die without reason

Over the waves of Arauca
I will leave my inspiration
And I will seek in its beauties
Relief for my heart
