Onda su onda [English translation]

What a dark night there is

Poor me, poor me

What frozen water here

No one will save me anymore

I fell from the ship, I fell

while on board there was the ball

Wave upon wave

The sea will carry me

to the drift

at the mercy of a bizarre and mean fate

wave upon wave

I am moving further away by now,

the ship is a firefly lost in the blue

I will never come back.

Sara, did you notice?

You are dancing with him

with eyes closed you cling yourself to him

Sara, but it doesn't matter!

The island is stunning

the climate is sweet around me

there are palm trees and bamboo

it is a place filled with virtue

Lying in the sun to dry myself off

my body and my face

I look at heaven

Wave upon wave

The sea has brought me here,

rhythms, songs, women of dreams,

bananas, raspberries

wave upon wave

I am acclimatized by now

the shipwreck has given me the happiness that you,

cannot give me

Wave upon wave
