Translation of the song lyrics Canoero - Celia Cruz

Canoero (original)

Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
Todo es hermoso y constante
Todo es música y razón
Y todo es como el diamante
Antes que luz es carbón
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
Yo sé de un penar profundo
Entre las penas sin nombre
La esclavitud de los hombres
Es la gran pena del mundo
Yo quiero cuando me muera
Sin patria, pero sin amo
Tener en mi losa un ramo
De flores y una bandera
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo
(Canoero, canoero)
Deja perderse por la mar el remo

Canoero (translation)

Let the oar get lost in the sea
(canoeer, canoeist)
Let the oar get lost in the sea
Everything is beautiful and constant
Everything is music and reason
And everything is like the diamond
Before light is coal
(canoeer, canoeist)
Let the oar get lost in the sea
(canoeer, canoeist)
Let the oar get lost in the sea
I know of deep sorrow
Among the nameless sorrows
The slavery of men
It is the great sorrow of the world
I want when I die
Without country, but without master
Have a bouquet on my slab
Of flowers and a flag
(canoeer, canoeist)
Let the oar get lost in the sea
(canoeer, canoeist)
Let the oar get lost in the sea
(canoeer, canoeist)
Let the oar get lost in the sea
(canoeer, canoeist)
Let the oar get lost in the sea
