Translation of the song lyrics La Barca - Elizeth Cardoso, Moacyr Silva

La Barca (original)

Dicen que la distancia es el olvido
Pero yo no concibo esta razón
Porque yo seguiré siendo el cautivo
De los caprichos de tu corazón
Supiste esclarecer mis pensamientos
Me diste la verdad que yo soñé
Ahuyentaste de mi los sufrimientos
En la primera noche que te amé
Hoy mi playa se viste de amargura
Porque tu barca tiene que partir
A cruzar otros mares de locura
Cuida que no naufrague en tu vivir
Cuando la luz del sol se esté apagando
Y te sientas cansado de vagar
Piensa que yo por ti estaré esperando
Hasta que tú decidas regresar
Supiste esclarecer mis pensamientos
Me diste la verdad que yo soñé
Ahuyentaste de mi los sufrimientos
En la primera noche que te amé
Hoy mi playa se viste de amargura
Porque tu barca tiene que partir
A cruzar otros mares de locura
Cuida que no naufrague en tu vivir
Cuando la luz del sol se esté apagando
Y te sientas cansado de vagar
Piensa que yo por ti estaré esperando
Hasta que tú decidas regresar

La Barca (translation)

They say that distance is forgotten
But I do not understand this reason
Cause I'll still be the captive
Of the whims of your heart
You knew how to clarify my thoughts
You gave me the truth that I dreamed
You drove away from me the sufferings
On the first night that I loved you
Today my beach is dressed in bitterness
Because your boat has to leave
To cross other seas of madness
Take care that it does not shipwreck in your life
When the sunlight is fading
And you feel tired of wandering
Think that I will be waiting for you
Until you decide to return
You knew how to clarify my thoughts
You gave me the truth that I dreamed
You drove away from me the sufferings
On the first night that I loved you
Today my beach is dressed in bitterness
Because your boat has to leave
To cross other seas of madness
Take care that it does not shipwreck in your life
When the sunlight is fading
And you feel tired of wandering
Think that I will be waiting for you
Until you decide to return
