Salty Water

Agua Salada

Yesterday I saw the girlAyer mire a la chiquilla
Now turned into a womanYa convertida en mujer
The one who as a childAquella que cuando niña
Told me she loved youMe dijo lo quiero a usted

I said: You're prettyLe dije: Tu eres bonita
But you're not old enoughPero te falta la edad
Your time will comeYa llegara tu momento
When you can fly on your ownQue sola puedas volar

Salty water, poor thingAgua salada probe
Because her eyes criedPor que sus ojos lloraron
I dried her cheeksDe su mejilla seque
With my lipsSus lagrimas con mis labios
Salty water, poor thingAgua salada pobre
Because I kissed her cheekPor que bese su mejilla
I gave her a kissUn beso le regale
Because the girl was cryingPor que lloraba la niña

Yesterday I saw her on my wayAyer la vi en mi camino
My hair has turned grayMi pelo ya encaneció
She said very sweetlyMe dijo muy dulcemente
How have you been, sir?Como le ha ido señor
I'm still the same girlYo soy la misma chiquilla
Now I’m old enoughAhora si tengo la edad
To say that I love youPara decir que lo quiero
That I can't forget youQue no lo puedo olvidar

Salty water, poor thingAgua salada probe
Because she cried againPorque de nuevo lloraba
I'm a sunsetYo soy un atardecer
And you're a lovely morningY tu una linda mañana
Salty water, poor thingAgua salada probe
Because I kissed her cheekPor que bese su mejilla
I gave her a kissUn beso le regale
Like when she was a little girlComo cuando era chiquilla
