Carolina [English translation]

Carolina, you are dancing

like melted water when it's spring.

You have rainbow colors in your dress,

and heavens' stars

gild your hair.

Carolina, you are dancing tonight;

Yes, you float around by yourself.

Carolina, you are singing

like a nightingale late in April.

The song goes far in the distance

and up on the sierra

where your beloved is.

Carolina, he hears your voice;

Carolina, you are in his heart.

Carolina, you close your eyes;

Little bird, what do you see?

Do you see the men up around the fire,

who gather for the evening

when the sun goes down?

Carolina, they are coming back;

Let them first do what they have to;

Carolina, then everything will be fine.
