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

Mar y Luna (with Chico Buarque)

Amaron el amor urgente
Las bocas saladas por la marejada
Las costas dañadas por las tempestades
En aquella ciudad tan distante del mar
Amaron el amor sereno
De nocturnas playas
Alzaban las faldas
Y se emborrachaban de felicidad
En aquella ciudad sin brillo lunar
Amaron el amor prohibido
Pues hoy es sabido
Todo el mundo cuenta
Que una iba preñada
Con hambre de luna
Y otra iba desnuda
Avida de mar

Y fueron quedando marcadas
Oyendo las risas temblando de frío
Mirando hacia el río
Tan lleno de luna
Y que continúa
Corriendo hacia el mar
Y fueron corriente abajo
Rodando en el lecho
Tragándose el agua
Flotando con algas
Arrastrando hojas
Cargando con flores
Hasta naufragar

Se fueron volviendo peces
Volviendo conchas
Volviendo piedras
Volviendo arena
Plateada arena
Con luna llena
Cerca del mar

Se fueron volviendo peces
Volviendo conchas
Volviendo piedras
Volviendo arena
Plateada arena
Con luna llena
Cerca del mar

Sea and Moon (with Chico Buarque)

They loved the urgent love
Their mouths salted by the sea
The coasts damaged by storms
In that city so far from the sea
They loved the serene love
Of moonlit beaches
They lifted their skirts
And got drunk on happiness
In that city without moonlight
They loved the forbidden love
Because now it is known
Everyone tells
That one was pregnant
Hungry for the moon
And the other was naked
Craving the sea

And they were being left marked
Hearing the laughter, shivering with cold
Looking towards the river
So full of moon
And that continues
Running to the sea
And they went down the river
Rolling in the riverbed
Swallowing water
Floating with seaweed
Dragging leaves
Carrying flowers
Until they were shipwrecked

They became fish
They became shells
They became stones
They became sand
Silvery sand
Under the full moon
Near the sea

They became fish
They became shells
They became stones
They became sand
Silvery sand
Under the full moon
Near the sea
