Lyrics and translation Dueto de Antaño - La Lancha

La Lancha

Un día hacia la mar una lancha partió
Y a su paso llevó un nido de ilusión
Y en la playa quedó triste y confiada
La mujercita que dulcemente cantó
Se va, se va la lancha
Se va con el pescador
Y en esa lancha que cruza el mar
Se va también mi amor
Quién sabe hasta cuándo
La lancha no volverá
Y yo me quedo cantando aquí
Se va, se va, se va
La lancha se alejó tendida en su raudal
Pues desafió a la mar con todo su valor
Y en la playa quedó triste y confiada
La mujercita que dulcemente cantó
Se va, se va la lancha
Se va con el pescador
Y en esa lancha que cruza el mar
Se va también mi amor
Quién sabe hasta cuándo
La lancha no volverá
Y yo me quedo cantando aquí
Se va, se va, se va
Al recio temporal la lancha no volvió
Dicen que naufragó ahogando una ilusión
Y en la playa quedó triste y confiada
La mujercita que dulcemente cantó
Se va, se va la lancha
Se va con el pescador
Y en esa lancha que cruza el mar
Se va también mi amor
Quién sabe hasta cuándo
La lancha no volverá
Y yo me quedo cantando aquí
Se va, se va, se va

The Rowboat

One day a rowboat set out to sea
And in its wake it carried a nest of dreams
And on the beach, a woman stayed behind, sad but hopeful
Softly singing a song
It's leaving, it's leaving, the rowboat
It's leaving with the fisherman
And in that rowboat that's crossing the sea
My love is also leaving
Who knows for how long
The rowboat won't return
And I'll stay here singing
It's leaving, it's leaving, it's leaving
The rowboat sailed away, out into the vast expanse
As it bravely defied the sea with all its might
And on the beach, a woman stayed behind, sad but hopeful
Softly singing a song
It's leaving, it's leaving, the rowboat
It's leaving with the fisherman
And in that rowboat that's crossing the sea
My love is also leaving
Who knows for how long
The rowboat won't return
And I'll stay here singing
It's leaving, it's leaving, it's leaving
When the fierce storm came, the rowboat didn't return
They say it sank, drowning a dream
And on the beach, a woman stayed behind, sad but hopeful
Softly singing a song
It's leaving, it's leaving, the rowboat
It's leaving with the fisherman
And in that rowboat that's crossing the sea
My love is also leaving
Who knows for how long
The rowboat won't return
And I'll stay here singing
It's leaving, it's leaving, it's leaving
