Santa Marta Kingston New Orleans
Muy sola se quedó
la ciudad
se fueron de vacaciones
la situa
no me deja viajar
me amarro
los pantalones
mejor voy
al Parque Nacional
tranquilo en mi bicicleta
perfecta se pone
la ciudad
para tomar una siesta.
Soñando veo
las fiestas del mar
que salgo
de Santa Marta
vestido de marino
en un barco
de La Grancolombiana
y al poco tiempo
de navegar
ya estoy en
Kingston, Jamaica
y J.J. que me dice
"no problem, only peace in my island".
Y ajá voy disfrutando
el paisaje
surcando voy la ruta
del sol
no necesito pasaje.
Y ajá, te esperaré
para el viaje
de cimbia, saydeco
y rock and roll
ya prepare tu equipaje.
Y al Mississippi
vimos al fin
la niebla
en la madrugada
bailamos saydeco
en Nueva Orleáns
un vallenato
en Luisiana
parece no voy
a despertar
no acaba mi itinerario
las gaitas yo comienzo
a escuchar
muy cerca está
Maracaibo.
Prendido estaba ya
el carnaval
cuando llegué
a Barranquilla
en Ciénaga,
fiestas del caimán
parranda
en la Alta Guajira
quizás mañana
vuelva a viajar
y me regrese p" al valle
Colacho volverá
al festival
ya preparé tu equipaje.
