Por la blanda arena
Through the soft sand
Que lame el mar
that licks the sea
Su pequeña huella
Your little footprint
No vuelve más
Doesn't come back again
Un sendero solo
A lonely path
De pena y silencio llegó
Of sorrow and silence came
Hasta el agua profunda
To the deep water
Un sendero solo
A lonely path
De penas mudas llegó
From silent sorrows came
Hasta la espuma
to the foam
Sabe Dios qué angustia
God knows what anguish
Te acompañó
She accompanied you
Qué dolores viejos
What old pains
Calló tu voz
Your voice silenced
Para recostarte
to lie down
Arrullada en el canto
Lulled into song
De las caracolas marinas
Of sea shells
La canción que canta
The song that sings
En el fondo oscuro del mar
At the dark bottom of the sea
La caracola
The conch
Te vas Alfonsina
You're leaving Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
with your loneliness
¿Qué poemas nuevos
What new poems
Fuiste a buscar?
Did you go looking?
Una voz antigua
an ancient voice
De viento y de sal
Of wind and salt
Te requiebra el alma
It breaks your soul
Y la está llevando
And she's carrying it
Y te vas hacia allá
and you go there
Como en sueños
like in dreams
Dormida, Alfonsina
Asleep, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar
Dressed in the sea
Cinco sirenitas
five little mermaids
Te llevarán
They will take you
Por caminos de algas
Through algae paths
Y de coral
and coral
Y fosforescentes
and phosphorescent
Caballos marinos harán
Sea horses will do
Una ronda a tu lado
A round at your side
Y los habitantes
and the inhabitants
Del agua van a jugar
They are going to play in the water
Pronto a tu lado
Soon at your side
Bájame la lámpara
Lower the lamp for me
Un poco más
A little more
Déjame que duerma
let me sleep
Nodriza, en paz
Nurse, in peace
Y si llama él
And if he calls
No le digas que estoy
Don't tell him I'm
Dile que Alfonsina no vuelve
Tell him that Alfonsina is not coming back
Y si llama él
And if he calls
No le digas nunca que estoy
Don't ever tell him that I am
Di que me he ido
Say I'm gone
Te vas Alfonsina
You're leaving Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
with your loneliness
¿Qué poemas nuevos
What new poems
Fuiste a buscar?
Did you go looking?
Una voz antigua
an ancient voice
De viento y de sal
Of wind and salt
Te requiebra el alma
It breaks your soul
Y la está llevando
And she's carrying it
Y te vas hacia allá
and you go there
Como en sueños
like in dreams
Dormida, Alfonsina
Asleep, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar
Dressed in the sea
