Salt Sack

Saco de Sal

Salt Sack

Hoy me empujaste hacia el marYou pushed me out to sea today
Y esperabas verme ahogarAnd hoped to watch me drown
Todo lo que tenía era mi equipajeAll i had was my baggage
Pensaste que me hundiríaYou thought it'd weigh me down

Y mientras me alejabaAnd as i drifted out
Flotaba hasta que la balsa se hundíaI floated out until the raft was sinking
Jadeaba por aireI gasped for air
Tosí agua saladaI coughed salt water

No pude evitar beberI couldn't help but drink in
Abandoné el barco; tú no podías vermeI jumped ship; you couldn't see me.
Pensaste que había exhalado mi último alientoYou thought i'd breathed my last
Comencé a nadar hacia la orillaI started swimming towards the shore

Desde la que fui arrojadoFrom which i had been cast
Luché hasta regresarI struggled back until
Estabas seguro de que moriríaYou were sure that i would die
Pero encontré una fuerza, una voluntad, un odioBut i found a strength, a will, a hate

Que no pude aplacarI couldn't pacify
Así que regreséSo i made it back
Luché, casi llegaba a tu orillaI fought back, was almost to your shore
Tenías algo en tus manos para míYou had something in your hands for me

Una corona trenzada de espinasA braided crown of thorns
Entonces me di la vueltaThen i turned around
Nadé lejos, sin mirar atrásI swam away, never to look back
Ya no soy el tontoI'm no more the fool
Que moriría y conocería un saco de salWho would die and know a salt sack
