El Marinero
Cri-Cri
The Sailor
A sailor with gray hair
Like the white foam of the sea
Every afternoon, on this bench
He comes to smoke his old pipe
He lights the tobacco and one by one
Those days come back
With the mermaid of smoke braids
That makes him dream of the past
Do you remember, sailor
Your little boat in the China Sea
That floated very lightly
On the waves like a swallow?
And do you remember, sailor
The smile of those princesses
That you saved from the cave
Of the dragon with five hundred heads?
Take your pipe and start smoking
While the sea breeze sings to you!
Take.. Your pipe.. And start smoking
While... The breeze... Of the sea sings... To you!
Do you remember, sailor
The country of the giant forests
In which the grass
Is as tall as elephants?
And do you remember, sailor
The great island of the fierce pirate
And its beaches adorned
With diamonds, with gold and silver?
Take your pipe and start smoking
While the sea breeze sings to you!
Take your pipe and start smoking
While... The breeze... Of the sea sings... To you!
