Paper Boat

Barco de Papel

On a paper boatEn un barco de papel
with my dreams I set sailcon mis ilusiones me largue
I paid the debts that anchored my pastpague las deudas que anclaban mi ayer
never to return againpara nunca mas volver.

Sailing the wide seaNavegando el ancho mar
that separates what was and will beque separa lo que fue y será
I found myself lost looking for your voiceme hallé perdido buscando tu voz
close to falling silentcasi apunto de callar

With the wind you called meCon el viento me llamabas
I shipwrecked on your beachen tu playa naufrague
like returning to solid ground once morecomo retornado a tierra firme otra vez
your little eyes smiledtus ojitos sonrieron
in their green I got losten su verde me extravié
fragile like a small paper boatfrágil como un pequeño barco de papel

White foam and coastlineBlanca espuma y litoral
mermaid with coral hairsirena cabellos de coral
on the sand I see you dancesobre la arena te veo danzar
drunk in your ritualembriagado en tu ritual

If I were a captainSi yo fuera capitán
you would be the light that would guide my coursetu serias esa luz que mi rumbo guiaría
set sail with mezarpa conmigo
dance againbaila otra vez
on my paper boaten mi barco de papel.

With the wind we will flowCon el viento fluiremos
the waves will carry uslas olas nos llevaran
beyond what we could imaginemas allá de lo que pudimos imaginar
tus ojitos sonrierontus ojitos sonrieron
in their green I got losten su verde me extravié
such fragility, little paper boatque fragilidad pequeño barco de papel

Mermaid of the sea... white foam and coastline...Sirena del mar... blanca espuma y litoral...

With the wind you called meCon el viento me llamabas
I shipwrecked on your beachen tu playa naufrague
like returning to solid ground once morecomo retornado a tierra firme otra vez
your little eyes smiledtus ojitos sonrieron
in their green I got losten su verde me extravié
such fragility, little paper boatque fragilidad, pequeño barco de papel
