el siete mares

I'm a wandering sailor, 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
And amidst sorrows and sighs, I speak to the woman I love
And only the sea answers me: Don't cry anymore, sailor

Carrying with me a love that is almost dead
(I would like to stay, close to my great affection)
But that was not my life, sailing is my destiny

Little sailor star, companion of us
What news do you have 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 while
At least four nights, if you understand my sorrows

Carrying with me a love that is almost dead
(I would like to stay, close to my great affection)
But that was not my life, sailing is my destiny
