If the Sea Were Ink

Patricio Manns

Si La Mar Fuera de Tinta

Si la mar fuera de tinta
Y las olas de papel
Yo le escribiera una carta
A mi querido Manuel
Si la mar fuera de tinta

A la mar me allegara
Por una roca
Pero le temo al agua
Por veleidosa

Por veleidosa, sí
Ola más ola
Manuel va navegando
Yo quedé sola

¡Le estoy tomando inquina
A la marina!

If the Sea Were Ink

If the sea were ink
And the waves were paper
I would write a letter
To my dear Manuel
If the sea were ink

I would get close to the sea
By a rock
But I fear the water
For being fickle

For being fickle, yes
Wave after wave
Manuel is sailing
I was left alone

I'm starting to resent
The navy!
