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 vi
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 it sailed awayEn una barca pescadora se alejó
Warm sea foamCálida espuma del mar
Shone on the sandy shoreEn el arenal me alumbró

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

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

But on the rock by the beach she's no longer therePero en la roca de la playa ya no está
It's a memory of my fishing boatEs un recuerdo de mi barca de pescador
My voice wanted to name herQuiso nombrarla mi voz
And she got lost in the sandY en el arenal se perdió

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