Ese Barco Velero

That Sailboat

Ese Barco Velero

That sailboatEse barco velero
Loaded with dreams, crossed the bayCargado de sueños, cruzó la bahía
Left me that afternoonMe dejó aquella tarde
Waving the handkerchiefAgitando el pañuelo
Sitting on the shoreSentada en la orilla

Sailor of lightsMarinero de luces
With a soul of fireCon alma de fuego
And a dark backY espalda morena
Your sailboat remainedSe quedó tu velero
Lost in the seasPerdido en los mares
Stranded on the sandVarado en la arena

You forgot that I, a moon seagullOlvidaste que yo, gaviota de luna
Was waiting for youTe estaba esperando
And you left swayingY te fuiste meciendo
In waves of silverEn olas de plata
Singing, singingCantando, cantando
That afternoon intoxicated youTe embriagó aquella tarde
With the scent of the seaEl aroma del mar

You forgot that I, a swallow of the airOlvidaste que yo, golondrina del aire
Was waiting for youTe estaba esperando
You took with youTe llevaste contigo
My last kissesMis últimos besos
My last yearsMis últimos años
That afternoon intoxicated youTe embriagó aquella tarde
With the smell of orange blossomEl olor de azahar

That sailboatEse barco velero
Loaded with dreams, crossed the bayCargado de sueños, cruzó la bahía
Left me your gazeMe dejó tu mirada
Of fiery passionDe fuego encendido
Fixed on mineClavada en la mía

Sailor of lightsMarinero de luces
Of sun and shadowDe sol y de sombra
Of sea and oliveDe mar y de olivo
Your silence remainedSe quedó tu silencio
Of red and sandDe rojo y arena
Embedded in mineClavado en el mío

You forgot that I, a moon seagullOlvidaste que yo, gaviota de luna
Was waiting for youTe estaba esperando
And you left swayingY te fuiste meciendo
In waves of silverEn olas de plata
Singing, singingCantando, cantando
That afternoon intoxicated youTe embriagó aquella tarde
With the scent of the seaEl aroma del mar

You forgot that I, a swallow of the airOlvidaste que yo, golondrina del aire
Was waiting for youTe estaba esperando
You took with youTe llevaste contigo
My last kissesMis últimos besos
My last yearsMis últimos años
That afternoon intoxicated youTe embriagó aquella tarde
With the smell of orange blossomEl olor de azahar

That sailboatEse barco velero
Loaded with dreams...Cargado de sueños...
