Lyrics

Te acariciaba el viento de poniente
te llevі a la arena ba±ada en salitre
te acariciaba un marinero en tierra
pero (c)sta vez no era yo.
Te conoc­ en Conil de la Frontera
nunca es primavera donde tє creciste
sigues teniendo carita de pena
pero no me miras con tus ojos tristes.
Ba±ada en salitre
flota en la memoria de los d­as grises
fumo en la ventana
veo tu silueta sobre el arrecife
Algunas flores crecen en las dunas
sube la marea y se hacen invisibles
algunas duermen a la luz de la luna
persiguiendo sue±os imposibles.
Ba±ada en salitre
flota en la memoria de los d­as grises
fumo en la ventana
veo tu silueta sobre el arrecife
Ahora tendr© que salir a buscarme
alguien que me arranque de cuajo la pena
de alguna manera tendr© que olvidarte…
Tengo que olvidarme de alguna manera.
Thanks to /* */

Lyrics translation

The West Wind caressed you
I took you to the sand bath in saltpeter
you were caressed by a sailor on land
but (c)this time it wasn't me.
Meet you in Conil de la Frontera
it's never spring where you grew up
you still have a sad face
but you don't look at me with your sad eyes.
Ba±ada in saltpeter
float in the memory of the gray das
smoke in the window
I see your silhouette on the reef
Some flowers grow in the dunes
the tide rises and they become invisible
some sleep in the moonlight
chasing impossible dreams.
Ba±ada in saltpeter
float in the memory of the gray das
smoke in the window
I see your silhouette on the reef
Now you have to go out and get me
someone who whips me out of my misery
somehow I'll have to forget you…
I have to forget somehow.
