Mi Cocodrilo Verde

Mi cocodrilo verdeCarcajada mulataCanción de serenataEmbrujo de maraca y bongó

Mi cocodrilo verdeEn tu palmar se perdeLa clásica leyendaDe yemanyá y Changó

Mi cocodrilo vedeSon tus mares de espumaTu majestuosa lunaY tu sol tropical

Mi cocodrilo verdeTerroncito de azúcarLas gaviotas anidanEn tu litoral

My Green Crocodile

My green crocodileMulatto GuffawSerenade songSpell of maraca and bongos

My green crocodileIn your palm he losesThe classic legendOf Yemanyá (a spirit/diety) y Changó (another spirit/diety)

My green crocodileThey are your seas of foamYour majestic moonAnd your tropical sun

My green crocodileSmall lumps of sugarThe seagulls nestIn your shore
