En el muelle de San Blas [English translation]

She said goodbye to her love

He left on a boat in the dock of San Blas

He swore he'd come back, and soaked in tears she swore she'd be waiting for him

A thousand moons went by and she was always at the dock, waiting

Many afternoons nested

They nested in her hair and her lips.

She always wore the same dress

in case he came back so he would recognize her

The crabs would bite her

clothes, her sadness, and her hope

And time slipped away

And her eyes were filled with sunrises

And she fell in love with the sea

And her body was rooted to the dock

Alone, alone in the oblivion

Alone, alone with her spirit

Alone, alone with her love, the sea

Alone in the dock of San Blas

Her hair whitened

but no ship would bring her love back

in the town they would call her

they would call her the crazy woman of the San Blas dock

And one April afternoon

they tried to transfer her to the asylum

but no one was able to catch her

And they never from the sea separated her again

Alone, alone in the oblivion

Alone, alone with her spirit

Alone, alone with her love, the sea

Alone in the dock of San Blas

She stayed, she stayed, alone, alone

She stayed, she stayed with the sun and the sea

She stayed there, she stayed there until the end

She stayed there, she stayed on the dock of San Blas

Alone, alone, alone...
