La Barca

The Boat

La Barca

They say distance breeds forgetfulnessDicen que la distancia es el olvido
But I cannot accept this reasonPero yo no concibo esta razón
Because I will remain captivePorque yo seguiré siendo el cautivo
To the whims of your heartDe los caprichos de tu corazón

You knew how to clarify my thoughtsSupiste esclarecer mis pensamientos
You gave me the truth I dreamed ofMe diste la verdad que yo soñé
You banished my sufferingAhuyentaste de mí los sufrimientos
On the first night I loved youEn la primera noche que te amé

Today my shore is draped in bitternessHoy mi playa se viste de amargura
Because your boat must departPorque tu barca tiene que partir
To cross other seas of madnessA cruzar otros mares de locura
Take care that your life does not shipwreckCuida que no naufrague tu vivir

When the sunlight is fadingCuando la luz del Sol se esté apagando
And you feel tired of wanderingY te sientas cansada de vagar
Remember that I will be waiting for youPiensa que yo por ti estaré esperando
Until you decide to returnHasta que tú decidas regresar

Today my shore is draped in bitternessHoy mi playa se viste de amargura
Because your boat must departPorque tu barca tiene que partir
To cross other seas of madnessA cruzar otros mares de locura
Take care, take care that your life does not shipwreckCuida, cuida que no naufrague tu vivir

And when the sunlight is fadingY cuando la luz del Sol se esté apagando
And you feel tired of wanderingY te sientas cansada de vagar
Remember that I will be waiting for youPiensa que yo por ti estaré esperando
Until you decideHasta que tú decidas

If you love someone, let them goSi amas a alguien, dejálo livre
If they come back to you, they're yoursSi regresa a ti, es tuyo
If they don't come back, they never wereSi no regresa, nunca lo fue

Until you decide to come backHasta que tú decidas regresar
