Cerca del mar (original)Cerca del mar (translation)
Una bolsa de leche encallada en la arena, A bag of milk stranded in the sand,
un murmullo azul como un cascabel, a blue murmur like a rattle,
un viento salado que se mete en las venas, a salty wind that gets into the veins,
una algarabía estira, estira la piel. a hubbub stretches, stretches the skin.
(Desde el sol caía un velo blanco, luz de mediodía) (From the sun fell a white veil, midday light)
Cerca del mar. Near the sea.
Toda piel se vuelve presa del yodo, All skin becomes prey to iodine,
toda bisagra se vuelve a herrumbrar, every hinge rusts again,
todo el mundo dice pasar de todo, everyone says pass everything,
y todo el mundo vuelve, vuelve a probar. and everyone comes back, tries again.
(Una casa blanca se va hundiendo sola entre las dunas) (A white house sinks alone into the dunes)
Cerca del mar, cerca del mar. Near the sea, near the sea.
Una vez se fueron hasta la playa, Once they went to the beach,
una noche antes de Carnaval, one night before Carnival,
una vez se pasaron de la raya, once they crossed the line,
todo el año para rememorar. all year to remember.
(El viento llevaba una guitarra lejos en la noche) (The wind carried a guitar far into the night)
Cerca del mar, cerca del mar, Near the sea, near the sea,
Cerca del mar, cerca del mar. Near the sea, near the sea.
Una sombra crece en el horizonte, A shadow grows on the horizon,
una carpa vuela en el temporal, a carp flies in the storm,
los bañistas como pueden se esconden, cargan con lo que pudieron salvar. bathers hide as best they can, carrying what they could save.
(Ese mar no es agua y sal, es sangre verde y desbocada) (That sea is not water and salt, it is green and runaway blood)
Una rastafari del barrio de Pocitos, A Rastafarian from the neighborhood of Pocitos,
flota en el sopor de la grappamiel, floats in the torpor of the grappamiel,
prueba la madera de un entrepiso, taste the wood of a mezzanine,
haciendo el amor en puntas de pie. making love on tiptoe.
(Todo brillo es oro bajo el lente leve del verano) (All glitter is gold under the light lens of summer)
Cerca del mar, cerca del mar, Near the sea, near the sea,
cerca del mar, cerca del mar.near the sea, near the sea.
