Sombra del Mar

El corazón no la quiere
olvidar. Es un lucero, un
momento de paz. Como
ninguna, tú, bella luna.

Quiero seguir esa sombra
en el mar. Va navegando
día y noche sin parar.
Es un momento que no
quiero olvidar.

Mientas cierro los ojos
tú te vas, y no me
explico que te pudo pasar.

Shadow in the Sea

The heart doesn't want
to forget. It's a star, a
moment of peace. Like
no one, you, beautiful moon

I want to follow that shadow
in the sea. It navigates
day and night without stopping.
It's a moment I don't
want to forget.

While I close my eyes
you leave, and I can't
explain what happened to you.
