Si La Mar Fuera de Tinta
Patricio Manns
If the Sea Were Ink
If the sea were ink
And the waves were paper
I would write a letter
To my dear Manuel
If the sea were ink
I would get close to the sea
By a rock
But I fear the water
For being fickle
For being fickle, yes
Wave after wave
Manuel is sailing
I was left alone
I'm starting to resent
The navy!
