Río [English translation]

The river's waters come running, singing

through the city, they go dreaming,

to be clean, to be clear

The river is thirsty, the river coughs

Oh sana Bogotá, my river

The river's waters fly, the clouds flood,

and crystals come falling from the sky, they wash us,

oxygen, let's send it to the river,

waves of prayers for the river,

prayers for the river

Let's save our blood that runs,

let's watch over vital water that flows,

let's bathe in a sweet trickle that weaves,

let's sing so the fish return

Prayers for the river

The river's waters come running, singing

through the city, they go dreaming,

to be clean, to be clear

The river is thirsty, the river coughs

Oh sana Bacata, my river

Let's save our blood

prayers for the river

revive my river
