Caleuche, Parte I
Noche de Luna,
blanca fortuna,
vela, mar y cielo, la barca.
Noche de luna.
Vuela y navega,
embruja y ciega,
calma desconsuelos, la barca.
Toda la riqueza litoral
va, reparte y deja prendas.
Noche de Luna,
blanca fortuna,
vela, mar y cielo, la barca.
Sin partir se aleja, vegetal
Sin volver regresa, piedra.
Noche de Luna,
surge la embarcación.
Caleuche, Part I
Moonlit night,
white fortune,
with sail, sea, and sky, the boat.
Moonlit night.
It flies and sails,
enchants and blinds,
eases the sorrows, the boat.
All the coastal wealth
comes, shares, and leaves treasures.
Moonlit night,
white fortune,
with sail, sea, and sky, the boat.
Without leaving, it drifts away, like a plant.
Without returning, it comes back, like a stone.
Moonlit night,
the vessel rises.
