Marinero de Luces

Sailor of Lights

Marinero de Luces

That sailboat loaded with dreamsEse barco velero cargado de sueños
Crossed the bayCruzó la bahía
Left me that afternoon, waving the handkerchiefMe dejó aquella tarde, agitando el pañuelo
Sitting on the shoreSentada en la orilla

Sailor of lightsMarinero de luces
With a fiery soul and a sun-kissed backCon alma de fuego y espalda morena
Your sailboat got lost, wandering the seasSe quedó tu velero, perdido en los mares
Stranded in the sandVarado en la arena

You forgot that I, moonlit seagullOlvidaste que yo, gaviota de Luna
Was waiting for youTe estaba esperando
And you drifted away on silver wavesY te fuiste meciendo en olas de plata
Singing, singingCantando, cantando
That afternoon, you were intoxicatedTe embriagó aquella tarde
By the scent of the seaEl aroma del mar

You forgot that I, air swallowOlvidaste que yo, golondrina del aire
Was waiting for youTe estaba esperando
You took with youTe llevaste contigo
My last kisses, my last yearsMis últimos besos, mis últimos años
That afternoon, you were intoxicatedTe embriagó aquella tarde
By the smell of orange blossomEl olor de azahar

That sailboat, loaded with dreamsEse barco velero, cargado de sueños
Crossed the bayCruzó la bahía
Left me your fiery gazeMe dejo tu mirada de fuego encendido
Stuck in mineClavada en la mía

Sailor of lightsMarinero de luces
Of sun and shadow, of sea and oliveDe Sol y de sombra, de mar y de olivo
Your silence stayed, red and sandySe quedó tu silencio, de rojo y arena
Stuck in mineClavado en el mío

You forgot that I, moonlit seagull, was waiting for youOlvidaste que yo, gaviota de Luna te estaba esperando
And you drifted away, on silver wavesY te fuiste meciendo, en olas de plata
Singing, singingCantando, cantando
That afternoon, you were intoxicatedTe embriagó aquella tarde
By the scent of the seaEl aroma del mar

You forgot that I, air swallowOlvidaste que yo, golondrina del aire
Was waiting for youTe estaba esperando
You took with you, my last kissesTe llevaste contigo, mis últimos besos
My last yearsMis últimos años
That afternoon, you were intoxicatedTe embriagó aquella tarde
By the smell of orange blossomEl olor de azahar
That sailboat, loaded with dreamsEse barco velero, cargado de sueños
Crossed the bayCruzó la bahía
