Alfonsina Y El Mar

Lyrics:
By the soft sand that licks the sea
its small track does not return
and a single footpath of pain and silence reached
the deep water
and a single footpath of pure pain reached
the foam

God knows what distresses accompanied you
What old pains shut up your voice
So you lay down sung to sleep by the song
of the marine conches
The song that sings in the dark bottom of the sea
the conch

You go away Alfonsina with your solitude
What new poems you went looking for?
And an old voice of wind and sea
breaks your soul
and it is calling it
and you go away, towards there, like in dreams,
Alfonsina asleep, dressed in sea.

Five little mermaids will take you
by paths of seaweed and coral
and fluorescent sea horses will dance
around at your side.
And the inhabitants of the water are going to swim soon at your side.

Lower the lamp a little more
Allow me to sleep, nanny in peace
and if he calls, don't tell him that I am,
Tell him that Alfonsina will not return
and if he calls, never tell him that I am,
say that I have gone away.

You go away Alfonsina with your solitude
What new poems you went looking for?
And an old voice of wind and sea
breaks your soul
and it is calling it
and you go away, towards there, like in dreams,
Alfonsina asleep, dressed in sea.
