Joaquín

At the tip of the palm I saw landing
The little bird you called Alhelí
Kiss on the forehead with a taste of sea
Before setting sail from the San Luis pier
Dancing among the waves I found you

And I let myself
Be carried by the current
Your current
Your eyes giving me back faith
It was so clear
A whole life was not enough
We submerged to look
We promised not to try
To escape the depth

And that's why I
Wait for you
Silently
If I have to, I'll be patient
If one day you return to our shore
The sky
Senses
That I'll have to be brave
If the sea falls in love and suddenly
Leaves you dancing among its waves

The night is approaching mercilessly
Cruel anxiety
The wind signals your absence
The tide echoes inside me
And asks for forgiveness
Its fury couldn't prevent such consequence
We submerged to look
We promised not to forget
The truth of eternity

And that's why I
Wait for you
Silently
If I have to, I'll be patient
If one day you return to our shore
The sky
Senses, oh
That I'll have to be brave
If the sea falls in love and suddenly
Leaves you dancing among its waves

Uuh, ooh
Uuh, ooh, lai lei lai
Uuh, ooh
Lai lai leí

At the tip of the palm I saw landing
The little bird you called Alhelí
Whistle little bird to remember
The last kiss I gave to Joaquín
