LYRICS GAME

By the soft sand that the sea licks

Your little footprint

Doesn't come back anymore

A path of only pain and silence arrived

Until the deep water

A path of only mute sorrows arrived

Until the foam

God knows what anguish accompanied you

What old pains silenced your voice

To lie down lulled in the song

Of the seashells

The song that sings in the dark bottom of the sea

The seashell

You leave Alfonsina, with your loneliness

What new poems did you go to search?

An ancient voice of wind and salt

It breaks your soul and is taking it

And you go there

Like in dreams asleep

Alfonsina, dressed in sea

Five mermaids will carry you

Through paths of seaweed and coral

And phosphorescent seahorses will make

A circle around you

And the inhabitants of the water will play

Soon by your side

Lower the lamp for me a little

Let me sleep nurse, in peace

And if he calls

Don't tell him I'm here

Tell him that Alfonsina isn't coming back

And if he calls

Don't ever tell him that I'm here

Say that I'm gone

You leave Alfonsina, with your loneliness

What new poems did you go to search?

An ancient voice of wind and salt

It breaks your soul and is taking it

And you go there

Like in dreams asleep

Alfonsina, dressed in sea
