El Siete Mares
José Alfredo Jiménez
The Seven Seas
I'm a sailor, living as a wanderer
I cross the seven seas
And as I am a navigator
I live among the storms
Challenging the dangers
That the seven seas give me
When the sea is calm
And there are stars in the sky
Between sorrows and sighs
I speak to the woman I love
And only he answers me:
Don't cry anymore, sailor
They call me The Seven Seas
Because I go from port to port
Carrying with me
A love that is almost dead
I would like to stay
Close to my great love
But that was not my life
Sailing is my destiny
Little sailor star
Companion of us
What news do you bring now
About the one who drives me crazy
If she still loves me
Tell me little by little
High waves, big waves
That drag me away
When we anchor in Tampico
Stay still for a little while
At least four nights
If you understand my sorrows
They call me The Seven Seas
Because I go from port to port
Carrying with me
A love that is almost dead
I would like to stay
Close to my great love
But that was not my life
Sailing is my destiny
