Buscaré una bogotana
I will look for a girl from Bogotá
Que a mí me sepa apreciar
Who knows how to appreciate me
Y que se bañe en las aguas
And who bathes in the waters
Que corren por el Cesar
That flow through Cesar
Si yo la llego a encontrar
If I happen to find her
Yo le pediré su mano
I will ask for her hand
Para enseñarle a querer
To teach her how to love
Como quiere un provinciano
Like a country boy wants
Oye bogotana
Hey Bogotá girl
Yo me desespero
I am in despair
Dame tu cariño
Give me your affection
Porque sin tu amor me muero
Because without your love, I will die
Oye bogotana
Hey Bogotá girl
Yo me desespero
I am in despair
Dame tu cariño
Give me your affection
Porque sin tu amor me muero
Because without your love, I will die
Yo tenía mi cariñito
I had my little darling
Reservado para ti
Reserved just for you
Pa' que te bañes conmigo
So you can bathe with me
En el río Guatapurí
In the Guatapurí River
Si yo la llego a encontrar
If I happen to find her
La besaré a cada rato
I will kiss her all the time
Para enseñarle a besar
To teach her how to kiss
Como besa un vallenato
Like a vallenato kisses
Oye bogotana
Hey Bogotá girl
Yo me desespero
I am in despair
Dame tu cariño
Give me your affection
Porque sin tu amor me muero
Because without your love, I will die
Oye bogotana
Hey Bogotá girl
Yo me desespero
I am in despair
Dame tu cariño
Give me your affection
Porque sin tu amor me muero
Because without your love, I will die
Oye bogotana
Hey Bogotá girl
Yo me desespero
I am in despair
Dame tu cariño
Give me your affection
Porque sin tu amor me muero
Because without your love, I will die
Oye bogotana
Hey Bogotá girl
Yo me desespero
I am in despair
Dame tu cariño
Give me your affection
Porque sin tu amor me muero
Because without your love, I will die
