| Dream of the Return (original) | Dream of the Return (translation) |
|---|---|
| Al mar eche un poema | To the sea throw a poem |
| que llevo con el mis preguntas y mi voz | that I carry with him my questions and my voice |
| Como un lento barco se perdio en la espuma | Like a slow ship lost in the foam |
| Le pedi que no diera la vuelta | I asked him not to turn around |
| sin haber visto el altamar | without having seen the high seas |
| y en suenos hablar conmigo de lo que vio | and in dreams talk to me about what he saw |
| Aun si no volviera | Even if she didn't come back |
| yo sabria si llego | I would know if I arrive |
| Viajar la vida entera | Travel your whole life |
| por la calma azul en tormentas zozobrar | by blue calm in storms capsize |
| poco importa el modo si algun puerto espera | little matter the mode if any port waits |
| Aguarde tanto tiempo el mensaje | Wait so long for the message |
| que olvide volver al mar | forget to return to the sea |
| y asi yo perdi aquel poema | and so I lost that poem |
| grite a los cielos todo mi rencor | shout to the heavens all my resentment |
| lo halle por fin pero escrito en la arena | I finally found it but written in the sand |
| como un oracion | like a prayer |
| El mar golpeo in mis venas | The sea beat in my veins |
| y libro mi corazon. | and I book my heart. |
