Amo El Amor de Los Marineros

So that nothing ties us down
So that nothing unites us
Not the word that scented your mouth
Nor what the words didn't say

Not the love feast we didn't have
Nor your sobs by the window
So that nothing ties us down
So that nothing unites us

I love the love of sailors who kiss and leave
They leave a promise, never return
In every port a woman waits
The sailors kiss and leave
One night they lie with death in the bed of the sea

From deep within you and kneeling
A sad child like me watches us
For that life that will burn in his veins
Our lives should be tied

For those hands, daughters of your hands
My hands should be killed
For their eyes open in the earth
I will see tears in yours one day

I love the love of sailors who kiss and leave
Love that can be eternal and fleeting
In every port a woman waits
The sailors kiss and leave
One night they lie with death in the bed of the sea
