La Sirena

The mermaid

La Sirena

Oh siren of the sea!Ay sirena de la mar!
If my nets reached you, you would leave the coralSi mi redes te alcanzaran dejarías el coral
and you would come to my house.y vendrías a mi casa.

You know well that we lack foam and algae there.Sabes bien que allí nos faltan las espumas y las algas.
If you want we will try...Si tú quieres lo intentamos...
Love moves mountains!¡El amor mueve montañas!

"This is how I sang to him, moving around the boat," De esta forma le cantaba, trajinando por la barca,
like every night,como cada anochecida,
not far from the beach in the light of two lamps,no muy lejos de la playa a la luz de dos candiles,
waiting for the dawn,esperando la del alba,
The stars twinkled and the sea kept calm.parpadeaban las estrellas y la mar velaba en calma.

No one will ever enjoy such a beautiful morning,Tan hermosa madrugada nunca nadie disfrutara,
with the sun appearing and the moon on our backs,con el sol apareciendo y la luna en las espaldas,
and in the bow of his boat the one he wanted so much,y en la proa de su barca la que tanto deseaba,
How much shine was in his eyes, his scales shone!¡cuanto brillo en su mirada, relucían sus escamas!

"Come to the bottom, come to the water, I have our home there."¡Ven al fondo,ven al agua, que allá tengo nuestra casa.
If I am strange on land, you don't miss anything at sea!Si en la tierra soy extraña, tú en la mar no extrañas nada!
"A drifting boat arrived at the port one morning," Una barca a la deriva llegó al puerto una mañana,
and the breeze repeated: Come to the bottom, come to the water!y la brisa repetía: ¡Ven al fondo,ven al agua!
And the breeze repeated: come to the bottom, come to the water!Y la brisa repetía: ¡ven al fondo,ven al agua!
And the breeze repeated: come to the bottom, come to the water!Y la brisa repetía: ¡ven al fondo,ven al agua!
