Como sueñan las sirenas
Ana Torroja
How Mermaids Dream
As every sunset
Shaadi shows up
weaving with dreams the tide
she dreams that from the sea
a love of flesh and salt
with kisses from a legendary hero
and sings, sings...
she imagines
warm and radiant like light
whispering in her ear
Shaadi, Shaddi
time goes by unnoticed
and her dolphin soul
still dreams of the tender lover
filled with seaweed her reason
her heart skips a beat
seeing a distant glow
and sings, sings...
and that night
she dives in search of that light
that sweetly calls her
Shaadi, Shaadi
No one knows
that the king of the tides dressed her
in reef and mother-of-pearl
and now she dreams
floating on a bed of coral
how mermaids dream
