Caracola

Conch Shell

Caracola

The voice of the sea, a prisonerLa voz del mar prisionera
The conch shell keptLa caracola guardó
So your voice wouldn't go awayPorque tu voz no se fuera
My heart locked it upMi corazón la encerró
I love you, how much I love youTe quiero, cuánto te quiero
The echo repeated to meEl eco me repitió

Why, between sky and sea¿Por qué, entre cielo y mar
Between shadow and light, I saw your eyes?Entre sombra y luz, tus ojos veía?
Why did I feel my heart shipwreck¿Por qué sentí naufragar
Suddenly that day?A mi corazón de pronto aquel día?

Why did you come to save me¿Por qué me fuiste a salvar
And the sea gave it to you when the wave arrived?Y te lo dio el mar al llegar la ola?
Why did your love invade¿Por qué tu amor invadió
My beach that was so lonely yesterday?Mi playa que ayer estaba tan sola?

That's how your voice transformedAsí tu voz transformó
My heart into your conch shellA mi corazón en tu caracola

Why did you come to save me¿Por qué me fuiste a salvar
And the sea gave it to you when the wave arrived?Y te lo dio el mar al llegar la ola?
Why did your love invade¿Por qué tu amor invadió
My beach that was so lonely yesterday?Mi playa que ayer estaba tan sola?

That's how your voice transformedAsí tu voz transformó
My heart into your conch shellA mi corazón en tu caracola
Of love, of loveDe amor, de amor
