El Capitán del Mar

Sandy Denny

The Sea Captain

To cross the wide sea I deserted,
From the shore I did fly.
I thought it time that I travelled,
So I took to the roads of the sky.

It was late and the wind it did gently blow,
Oh the night it was calm.
I saw the flower of the ocean
And the universe did me noo harm,
It said to fly on.

The sea captain he loved the ocean,
But his ship was on fire.
His hands they did stretch out before him,
For to take one of many desires,
But there was no time.

Across the wide sea he departed,
From the ship he did fly.
He thought it time that he travelled
And I saw him as he passed by,
And I saw him as he passed by.

El Capitán del Mar

Para cruzar el ancho mar deserté,
Desde la orilla volé.
Pensé que era hora de viajar,
Así que tomé los caminos del cielo.

Era tarde y el viento soplaba suavemente,
Oh, la noche estaba tranquila.
Vi la flor del océano
Y el universo no me hizo daño,
Me dijo que siguiera volando.

El capitán del mar amaba el océano,
Pero su barco estaba en llamas.
Sus manos se extendían ante él,
Para tomar uno de sus muchos deseos,
Pero no había tiempo.

A través del ancho mar partió,
Del barco voló.
Pensó que era hora de viajar
Y lo vi pasar,
Y lo vi pasar.
