Gaviota de Puerto

Seagull from the Port

Gaviota de Puerto

On a rock by the beach I saw herEn una roca de la playa yo la ví
I imagined the warmth of her skinImaginaba la tibieza de su piel
Her eyes were the seaEran sus ojos el mar
Horizon and light of a loveHorizonte y luz de un querer

On a star, a little lantern lit upEn una estrella un farolito se prendió
On a fishing boat, she sailed awayEn una barca pescadora se alejó
Warm sea foamCálida espuma de mar
Shone on the sandy shoreEn el arenal me alumbró

White seagull from the portBlanca gaviota de puerto
The little boat that carried my loveLa barquita que llevó mi amor
Which moon will light you up¿Qué luna te alumbrará
In the blue night of your love?En la noche azul de tu amor?

With a pearl, the sky and coral were madeCon una perla se hizo el cielo y el coral
From that hot summer, she sailed awayDe aquel verano caluroso se alejó
My eyes gaze at the seaMiran mis ojos el mar
It's a flutter of illusionEs un aletear de ilusión

But on the rock by the beach, you're no longer therePero en la roca de la playa ya no estás
It's a memory of my fisherman's boatEs un recuerdo de mi barca ‘e pescador
My voice wanted to name youQuiso nombrarte mi voz
And got lost in the sandY en el arenal se perdió
