La Creceinte Del Cesar

It's raining in the snowfall
Up in Valledupar
I bet the Cesar River
Rises in the early morning

Malle, don't be afraid
Of the rising of the Cesar
I will cross it
Through the Salguero bridge

And if the river takes the bridge
I'll find another way to see you
Because for my love
A swollen river doesn't matter

I saw the Cesar River bring a drowned man in its current
And it was a man who was going to see his girlfriend on the other side
As the man was confused, Dr. Valle exclaimed
Escalona drowned for being in love

And only one man dared to jump into the swollen Cesar
When that man jumped, it was clear he was in love

In the Salguero curve
I found an overturned truck
And the driver was running because he was in love
I found him half dead with both legs broken
He told me it was nothing because he was in love

And that's what happened to the driver for loving a woman
And it could happen to me if you don't take pity on me

It's raining in the snowfall
It's going to rain in the valley
And the lightning is seen like a fading candle
If you don't want to console
My sorrow and my pain, I'll jump into the Cesar
So the current can drown me

And if the river takes the bridge
I'll find another way to see you
Because for my love, a swollen river doesn't matter
