Tristeza marina
Horacio Sanguinetti
Marine Sadness
You love the sea more,
she told me with pain
and the crystal of her voice broke.
I remember her gaze
with the evening light
and this phrase like an obsession:
'You have to choose between your sea and my love'.
I told her: 'No'
and she said: 'Goodbye'.
Her name was Margó,
she wore a blue beret
and a cross hung on her chest.
Sea...
Sea, my brother...
Sea...
In your vastness
I sink with my coal ship
my captive destiny
and my sad loneliness.
Sea...
I have no one.
Sea...
I no longer have love.
I know that when I arrive at the port one day
Margó won't be waiting.
My sorrow is a storm
that lashes the heart
with the fierce wind of pain.
I will never forget her
and I will always hear
her words like an obsession:
'You have to choose between your sea and my love'.
Sadly, I said: 'No'
and heard her goodbye...
Her name was Margó,
she wore a blue beret
and a cross hung on her chest.
