‘‘ Entre Cocullo y Candíl’’

know the wood stove

The coffee from the strainer

Communicate by signs

Not having a fan

The aroma of the pig

Going around on the pick

Mom peeling the cassava

And removing the coal

Barefoot I played baseball

I knew how to sing, smile

And in the nights I became enlightened

Between cocuyo and lamp

I was born, grew up and raised, between cocuyo and lamp.

(I fell in love with the moon split in the garden, the rain perfumed me with the aroma of jasmine)

I was born, grew up and raised, between cocuyo and lamp.

(A star was my guide, a star illuminated me, an angel came down from heaven and filled me with harmony)

I was born, grew up and raised, between cocuyo and lamp.

(I am from "La Guadalupe", a farm in San Luis, I couldn't have wealth but I was a happy child)

Between cocuyo and lamp. (Repeat 5 times)

(With the crowing of the rooster, papa Neto on his horse the sun has risen again)

Between cocuyo and lamp.

I was born, I believed and I was raised

Between cocuyo and lamp

Yo nací, crecí y me crié, entre cocuyo y candil.

Conozco el fogón de leña

El café del colador

Comunicarme por señas

No tener ventilador

El aroma del lechón

Dando vueltas en la púa

Mama pelando la yuca

Y removiendo el carbón

Descalzo jugué beisbol 

Supe cantar, sonreir

Y en las noches me alumbré 

Entre cocuyo y candil

Yo nací, crecí y me crié, entre cocuyo y candil.

(Me enamore de la luna escindido en el jardín,

la lluvia me perfumaba con aroma de jazmín)

Yo nací, crecí y me crié, entre cocuyo y candil.

(Una estrella fue mi guía, me iluminaba un lucero,

un ángel bajo del cielo y me lleno de armonia)

Yo nací, crecí y me crié, entre cocuyo y candil.

(Yo soy de "La Guadalupe" una finca  de San Luis,

tener riqueza no pude pero fui un niño feliz)

Entre cocuyo y candil. (Se repite 5 vece)

(Con el cantío del gallo,

papá Neto en su caballo el sol ha vuelto a salir)

Entre cocuyo y candil.

Yo nací, creí y me crié

Entre cocuyo y candil
