Un, dos, tres, cuatro
One, two, three, four
Pocas veces en mi pecho
Rarely in my chest
He sentido el mundo entero
Have I felt the whole world
Ver gaviotas que en el cielo
Seeing seagulls in the sky
Van cantando a pleno vuelo
Singing in full flight
Cuántas veces he tenido
How many times have I had
Que llevarme la ilusión
To carry away my dreams
Casi siempre me termino
Almost always I end up
Conformando el corazón
Shaping my heart
Amor pretao
Broken love
Ay ombe
Oh man
Amor pretao
Broken love
Ay ombe
Oh man
Tantas veces desde el cielo
So many times from the sky
Me desploman, hasta el suelo
They drop me to the ground
Sin anhelo, sin consuelo
Without longing, without comfort
Se me agotan los deseos
My desires run out
Cuántas veces he tenido
How many times have I had
Que llevarme la ilusión
To carry away my dreams
Casi siempre me termino
Almost always I end up

Amor de un náufrago

Que se ha quedado sosobrando por la mar
Who has been left adrift at sea

Ay ombe
Oh man
