who has captivated my lifeque mi vida ha cautivao
and in the curls of his hairy en los rizos de su pelo
and in his blue eyesy en sus ojillos azules

The murmur of the wavesEl murmullo de las olas
brings the echo of his voicetrae el eco de su voz
and the air of the bayy el aire de la bahía
the scent of his loveel perfume de su amor
his little boat is very closesu barquilla está muy cerca
