Luna De Cabotaje (original)Luna De Cabotaje (translation)
La luna alumbra el puerto desde un tapial The moon lights the port from a wall
Amamantando el sueño del jornalero Nursing the day laborer's dream
Al cabo del tiempo amores de contrabando At the end of time contraband loves
Sube la luna como jugando The moon rises like playing
Ardiendo en luz al cañaveral Burning in light to the canefield
Y se prende en el vuelo de tu pollera And she catches on the flight of your skirt
Como una pincelada en la oscuridad Like a brushstroke in the dark
Para volverse nácar en tu cadera To turn mother-of-pearl on your hip
Te pinta el alma y en vos se queda It paints your soul and it stays in you
Por un momento de eternidad For a moment of eternity
Acariciando el lomo del río viejo Caressing the back of the old river
Que duerme con sus ojos abiertos who sleeps with his eyes open
Para beberse tu claridad To drink your clarity
Luna llena, cara de barro, luna de cabotaje Full moon, mud face, coasting moon
No hay astronautas ni dioses There are no astronauts or gods
Que te prohiban enamorarte That they prohibit you from falling in love
Luna llena, cara de barro, luna de cabotaje Full moon, mud face, coasting moon
Todos los grillos nos hacen el coro All the crickets make us the choir
Y yo canto pa' despedirte hasta el otro mes And I sing to say goodbye until next month
Amacándose en el río hanging out in the river
Tu canoa se va y se fue Your canoe leaves and left
Luna de medianoche sobre los barcos Midnight moon over the ships
En tu mirada luna que gira y va In your gaze moon that turns and goes
Desparramando perlas entre los charcos Scattering pearls among the puddles
Que el río olvida, tan apurado That the river forgets, so rushed
Por no mirar un poquito atrás For not looking back a little
Y uno, que se parece al agua que corre And one, which looks like running water
Mira la noche y enhebra nombres Look at the night and string names
Por no pensar en la soledadFor not thinking about loneliness
