La barca de Guaymas [English translation]

At the beat of the oar, the waves are agitated

And the boat is lightened

At the noise of the water, my sorrow gets deeper

And my soul is sobbing

For so many sorrows, my anguished love

is calling you to weeping

And you are very far away...

And alone, very alone

My soul meets very alone

Tired traveler, that you go back to port

From distant lands

What a strange pilot sailed your boat

Without a sail and without an anchor?

What region you come from?

Why you have shattered your sails so white?

And you're singing:

I come bringing to the death in the soul

I'm the traveler

which came out in a joyful morning from Guaymas1

Carrying in my boat like a skilled pilot

My sweet hope

For unknown seas and my many hopes

It dipped in the storm

Therefore, the sails are broken and I bring

The death in the soul

Therefore, the sails are broken and I bring

The death in the soul
