Pedro Canoero - Mercedes Sosa

Pedro canoero

Todo tu tiempo se ha ido

Sobre la vieja canoa

Lentamente te lo fue llevando el rio

Pedro canoero

Ya no has vuelto por la costa

Te quedaste en la canoa

Como un duende sin edad y sin memoria

Pedro canoero

Te mecia el agua

Lejos de la costa

Cuando te dormias

Pedro canoero

Corazon de arcilla

Sobre la canoa

Se te fue la vida

Pedro canoero

La esperanza se te iba

Sobre el agua amanecida

Tu esperanza pedro al fin

No tuvo orillas

Pedro, pedro se te fue la vida

Peter canoeist

all your time is gone

On the old canoe

Slowly the river was taking it to you

Peter canoeist

You have not returned by the coast

you stayed in the canoe

Like an ageless elf without memory

Peter canoeist

the water rocked you

far from the coast

when you fell asleep

Peter canoeist

clay heart

about the canoe

your life was gone

Peter canoeist

hope was gone

On the dawn water

your hope pedro at last

had no shores

Pedro, Pedro your life was gone
