La Guirnalda

The Garland

La Guirnalda

While I was sitting on the beach sand watching the seaEstando yo sentada en la arena de la playa viendo el mar
A handsome manUn hombre guapo
Came rowing in a boatVenia remando en una barca
Approaching towards meQue venia aproximándose hacia mí

He looked at me, smiledEl me miro, me sonrió
And I flirtatiously pretendedY yo coquetamente viendo
I acted as if I didn't seeHice como que no vi

He said hello, why so lonelyMe dijo hola, por que tan sola
At that time I was very disappointed in loveEn ese tiempo estaba muy decepcionada de un amor
I told him my whole story of my hell and my gloryLe conté toda mi historia de mi infierno y de mi gloria
The experience of a past I lived badlyLa experiencia en un intento de un ayer que mal viví
Next to a love that made me see my fateAl lado de un querer que me hizo ver mi suerte
He wanted to cause my death and that's why I ran awayMe quería causar la muerte y por eso fue que huí

And I found those clear green eyesY me encontré con esos ojos verdes claros
Like the seas, like the lakesComo los mares, como los lagos

And I admired his mouth that didn't speak liesY yo admire su boca que no hablo mentiras
The new story was being written todayLa nueva historia, hoy se escribía
A beautiful idyll was newly bornUn bello idilio recién nacía

He made me a garlandMe hizo una guirnalda
With pure bougainvilleasCon puras bugambilias
He placed it on my foreheadLa puso en mi frente
I felt divineYo me sentí divina

He turned me into his queenMe convirtió en su reina
And took me in his boatY me llevo en su barca
And we saw in the distanceY vimos a lo lejos
The Port of VallartaEl Puerto de Vallarta

We heard a sweet and soft song of the wavesOímos de las olas un canto dulce y suave
And saw the seagullsY vimos las gaviotas
My beloved birds flyMis consentidas aves volar
And to the rhythm of the boatY al ritmo de la barca
I surrendered in his armsYo me entregue en sus brazos
And got lost in the green, gaze of his big eyesY me perdí en el verde, mirar de sus ojazos

We saw the sun setVimos el sol ponerse
We saw it darkenVimos oscurecerse
And suddenlyY de un momento a otro
The evening star appearedEl lucero apareció

We saw each other in silenceNos vimos en silencio
We made three wishesPedimos tres deseos
Two were granted to me and the other not yetDos se me concedieron y el otro aun no

Today my wish isHoy mi deseo es
To be in that boatEstar en esa barca
To be back in the EdenVolver a estar en el Edén
Of the Port of VallartaDel Puerto de Vallarta
