Barco Velero (Marinero de Luces)

Sailboat (Sailor of Lights)

That sailboat loaded with dreams
Crossed the bay
It left me that afternoon waving the handkerchief
Sitting on the shore

Sailor of lights, with a soul of fire and a dark back
Your sailboat remained lost in the seas
Stranded on the sand
You forgot that I, a moon seagull
Was waiting for you
And you left swaying in waves of silver
Singing, singing

That afternoon intoxicated you
With the scent of the sea
You forgot that I, a swallow of the air, was waiting for you
You took with you my last kisses, my last years

That afternoon intoxicated you with the smell of orange blossom
That sailboat loaded with dreams crossed the bay
You left me your fiery gaze
Fixed on mine

Sailor of lights, of sun and shadow, of sea and olive
Your silence of red and sand remained
Impaled in mine
You forgot that I, a moon seagull
Was waiting for you
And you left swaying in waves of silver
Singing, singing

That afternoon intoxicated you with the scent of the sea
You forgot that I, a swallow of the air
Was waiting for you
You took with you my last kisses, my last years
That afternoon intoxicated you with the smell of orange blossom
That sailboat loaded with dreams crossed the bay
