Caracola

Conch

¿Por qué, entre cielo y mar Why, between sky and sea
Entre sombra y luz, tus ojos veía? Between shadow and light, did I see your eyes?
¿Por qué sentí naufragar Why, did I suddenly feel
A mi corazón de pronto aquel día? That day sinking in my heart?
  
¿Por qué me fuiste a salvar Why did you save me
Y te lo dio el mar al llegar la ola? And did the sea give it to you when the wave came?
¿Por qué tu amor invadió Why did your love invade
Mi playa que ayer estaba tan sola? My beach which yesterday was so lonely?
  
Así tu voz transformó That's how your voice changed
A mi corazón en tu caracola To my heart in your conch
  
¿Por qué me fuiste a salvar Why did you save me
Y te lo dio el mar al llegar la ola? And did the sea give it to you when the wave came?
¿Por qué tu amor invadió Why did your love invade
Mi playa que ayer estaba tan sola? My beach which yesterday was so lonely?
  
Así tu voz transformó That's how your voice changed
A mi corazón en tu caracola To my heart in your conch
De amor, de amor Of love, of love

Translation by Alvaro Gonzalez Garcia.

  • Conch - the spiral shell of a sea snail.
