With the ironed skirt
and seashell lace
the girl dances a rumba
shoesless, near the tides.
Look for her, sailor
and sing to her with guitars
and coo her with bright stars
by the sea foams.
And sing, sailor
to the girl in love.
The girl asked
to the jetty's lighthouse
if that sailboat that comes
has a spanish flag.
The girl awaits for a sailboat
that comes from foreign land,
with the papers signed
to marry tomorrow.
