Lyrics

Español

Tú quieres más el mar, me dijo con dolor y el cristal de su voz se quebró. Recuerdo su mirar con luz de anochecer y esta frase como una obsesión: 'Tienes que elegir entre tu mar y mi amor'. Yo le dije: 'No' y ella dijo: 'Adiós'. Su nombre era Margó, llevaba boina azul y en su pecho colgaba una cruz. Mar... Mar, hermano mío... Mar... En tu inmensidad hundo con mi barco carbonero mi destino prisionero y mi triste soledad. Mar... Yo no tengo a nadie. Mar... Ya ni tengo amor. Sé que cuando al puerto llegue un día esperando no estará Margó. Mi pena es tempestad que azota el corazón con el viento feroz del dolor. Jamás la olvidaré y siempre escucharé sus palabras como una obsesión: 'Tienes que elegir entre tu mar y mi amor'. Triste, dije: 'No' y escuché su adiós... Su nombre era Margó, llevaba boina azul y en su pecho colgaba una cruz.

English · machine translation

You want the sea more, he said to me with pain and the crystal of his voice broke. I remember her gaze with evening light and this phrase as an obsession: 'You have to choose between your sea and my love.' I said: 'No'. and she said: 'Goodbye'. Her name was Margó, she wore a blue beret and on her chest hung a cross. Mar... Mar, my brother... Sea... In your immensity I sink with my coal ship my imprisoned destiny and my sad loneliness. Sea... I have no one. Sea... I don't even have love anymore. I know that when I arrive at the port one day Margó won't be waiting for me. My sorrow is a storm that whips the heart with the fierce wind of pain. I will never forget her and I will always listen her words as an obsession: 'You have to choose between your sea and my love.' Sad, I said: 'No' and I listened to her goodbye... Her name was Margó, she wore a blue beret and on his chest hung a cross.
