Lyrics

Al golpe del remo se agitan las olas
Ligera la barca
Al ruido del agua se ahonda mi pena
Solloza mi alma.
Por tantos pesares, mi amor angustiado
Llorando te llama
Y te hallas muy lejos… y sola,
muy sola
Se encuentra mi alma.
Alegre viajero que tornas al puerto
De tierras lejanas
Quѓ© extraѓ±o piloto condujo tu barca
Sin vela y sin ancla
De quѓ© regiѓіn vienes, que has hecho
pedazos
Tus velas tan blancas.
Y fuiste cantando
Y vuelves trayendo, la muerte en el alma
Yo soy el marino
Que alegre de Guaymas, saliѓі una maѓ±ana
Llevando en mi barca como ave piloto
Mi dulce esperanza.
Por mares ignotos
Mis santos anhelos hundiѓі en la borrasca
Por eso estѓЎn rotas mis alas
Y traigo la muerte en el alma.
Te fuiste cantando
Y hoy vuelves trayendo
La muerte en el alma.

Lyrics translation

At the stroke of the paddle the waves shake
Light the boat
To the sound of the water my sorrow deepens
Sobs my soul.
For so many sorrows, my distraught love
Crying calls you
And you are far away ... and alone,
very lonely
My soul is found.
Cheerful traveler who turns to the port
From distant lands
What strange pilot drove your boat
Without sail and without anchor
What region do you come from, what have you done
piece
Your Candles are so white.
And you went singing
And you bring back, death in the soul
I am the sailor
How cheerful of Guaymas, I went out one morning
Carrying on my boat as a pilot bird
My sweet hope.
By unknown seas
My holy yearnings sundiѓі in the storm
That's why my wings are broken
And I bring death in my soul.
You went singing
And today you're bringing back
Death in the soul.
