The Sea Captain

Para cruzar el ancho mar deserté,To cross the wide sea I deserted,
Desde la orilla volé.From the shore I did fly.
Pensé que era hora de viajar,I thought it time that I travelled,
Así que tomé los caminos del cielo.So I took to the roads of the sky.

Era tarde y el viento soplaba suavemente,It was late and the wind it did gently blow,
Oh, la noche estaba tranquila.Oh the night it was calm.
Vi la flor del océanoI saw the flower of the ocean
Y el universo no me hizo daño,And the universe did me noo harm,
Me dijo que siguiera volando.It said to fly on.

El capitán del mar amaba el océano,The sea captain he loved the ocean,
Pero su barco estaba en llamas.But his ship was on fire.
Sus manos se extendían ante él,His hands they did stretch out before him,
Para tomar uno de sus muchos deseos,For to take one of many desires,
Pero no había tiempo.But there was no time.

A través del ancho mar partió,Across the wide sea he departed,
Del barco voló.From the ship he did fly.
Pensó que era hora de viajarHe thought it time that he travelled
Y lo vi pasar,And I saw him as he passed by,
Y lo vi pasar.And I saw him as he passed by.
