Lyrics and translation Ana Belén con Chico Buarque - Mar y Luna (with Chico Buarque)




Mar y Luna (with Chico Buarque)
Mar y Luna (with Chico Buarque)
Amaron el amor urgente
We loved with an urgent passion
Las bocas saladas por la marejada
Our mouths salty from the ocean spray
Las costas dañadas por las tempestades
Our coasts ravaged by the storms
En aquella ciudad tan distante del mar
In that city so far from the sea
Amaron el amor sereno
We loved with a serene passion
De nocturnas playas
On moonlit beaches
Alzaban las faldas
We lifted our skirts
Y se emborrachaban de felicidad
And we became intoxicated with happiness
En aquella ciudad sin brillo lunar
In that city untouched by the moon's radiance
Amaron el amor prohibido
We loved with a forbidden passion
Pues hoy es sabido
As we know now
Todo el mundo cuenta
Everyone knows
Que una iba preñada
That one of us was with child
Con hambre de luna
Hungry for the moon
Y otra iba desnuda
And the other was naked
Ávida de mar
Longing for the sea
Y fueron quedando marcadas
And we were left marked
Oyendo las risas temblando de frío
Hearing the laughter, shivering with cold
Mirando hacia el río
Looking towards the river
Tan lleno de luna
So full of moon
Y que continúa
And which continues
Corriendo hacía el mar
Flowing towards the sea
Y fueron corriente abajo
And we went downstream
Rodando en el lecho
Rolling in the riverbed
Tragándose el agua
Swallowing the water
Flotando con algas
Floating with seaweed
Arrastrando hojas
Dragging leaves
Cargando con flores
Carrying flowers
Hasta naufragar
Until we shipwrecked
Se fueron volviendo peces
We became fish
Volviendo conchas
We became shells
Volviendo piedras
We became stones
Volviendo arena
We became sand
Plateada arena
Silvery sand
Con luna llena
Under a full moon
Cerca del mar
Near the sea
