English Translation

The current is rising
With a hammock and a fishing net
A canoe made of bahareque
Arrives at the beach

The fisherman… speaks with the moon
The fisherman… speaks with the sea
The fisherman…has no riches
He only has his fishing net

The moon happily awaits
With its magic splendor
The brave arrival
Of the content fisherman

The fisherman… speaks with the moon
The fisherman… speaks with the sea
The fisherman…has no riches
He only has his fishing net

The fishermen return
With their catch to sell
To the port of their sweethearts
Where they keep their love

And this cumbia that is called
“the happy fisherman”
I composed it in the morning
On a sunny morning

The fisherman… speaks with the moon
The fisherman… speaks with the sea
The fisherman…has no riches
He only has his fishing net
