Boga Barquero

Ferryman who sings crying a sorrow
Who knows what anguish sank you in pain
Perhaps the blessed mouth has hurt you
Of the one who so many times gave you her love

You live yearning for her white hair
Her divine hands of a goddess woman
And you evoke the eyes so sweet and beautiful
That forever tied your life to a love

Row, ferryman of the dream
Through the blue seas of desolation
Row singing your bitterness
That behind the distance your song dies

Ferryman, the nights of the Volga are sad
You pass by crying like a vision
And your clumsy lips mutter a prayer
That joining the wind sinks your song

Row, ferryman of the dream
Through the blue seas of desolation
Row singing your bitterness
That behind the distance your song dies
