Entre salitre y sudor [English translation]

Morning of St. John's Day,

the rain has it in for us.

The sun has already risen

behind the mouse.

Boats set sail,

church bells [ring] in the big town.

A following wind,

it's time to go.

And the old men say

with sadness

that in the sea

there was a thousand whales once,

today just some tens

and time will tell what's next.

Whales to port!

Rope and harpoon ready!

No doubt today there will be

a loser.

Hunt is over,

among sea salt and sweat.

Sky has fallen silent,

the rain is gone.

And the old men say

with sadness

that in the sea

there was a thousand whales once,

today just some tens

and time will tell what's next.

And the old men say

with sadness

that in the sea

there was a thousand whales once,

today just some tens

and time will tell what's next.
