The Raft
It comes to my mind and I testify
Drifting on a raft, I saw a wedding
An immense raft was coming down the river
And happily running, the children were shouting
Here comes the raft
Here comes the raft
Here comes the raft
Here comes the raft
Parents of the couple, relatives, and friends
Godparents and the little pages
While the bride dressed in white
With veil and crown, shy and modest
The groom dressed in black cloth and a white shirt
Rice for luck, they sprinkle, cheers are heard
Long live the couple
Long live the couple
Long live the couple
Long live the couple
A flute and a thousand guests
In the large room are gathering
Moonshine or booze until dawn
Pigs, chickens, turkeys, or delicacies, the touch of the calf
The touch of the calf
Long live the party
The touch of the calf
Long live the party
The dance is over and a thousand white handkerchiefs
Bid farewell to the couple as they go to their ranch
In a canoe adorned with flowers
And the young girls sigh with love
There goes the canoe
There goes the canoe
There goes the canoe
There goes the canoe
There goes the canoe
There goes the canoe
