Bahía de Cádiz
Camarón de La Isla
Bay of Cadiz
The steamboat
is made with the idea
that by adding coal
it sails against the tide.
Under the guidance of Salmedina,
mirror of the marshes,
saltwater trays
where the salt workers are.
What do I care
if the salt flats dry up
as long as I have you.
Marshes of Sancti-Petri,
salt flats of San Fernando,
sun and salt mirrors
where the boats fall asleep.
Island of Guadalquivir,
where the Moors went
who didn't want to leave.
Between the land and the sky
there are no women with more salt
than the gypsies of the Port,
from Caí to Gibraltar.
Island of Guadalquivir...
