Zamba de Amor y Mar

May my song not reach you sad
Because I put a smile on my guitar
To fill with life and warmth
The loneliness that is growing in your gaze
Look, the Moon is split in half
And yet it shines the same

Just for the pleasure of singing
I let the wind inflate my handkerchief
Owner of my time and captain
I climbed the main mast with so many dreams
I came to walk with my song and continue
My path is long and goes on

I can cry and smile
My heart stayed here
Sea of love, silver and pain
With watery eyes you will see me leave

I went to walk along that coast
And I drew my face, all skin of sand
To stay a little and endure
And the water came and mixed it with so many stones
Stubborn as always, my verse will remain
The trace of my heart

The name of Alfonsina reached me
To show me the heart of Mar del Plata
She who in death exalted
All the love with which my guitar names her today
It grows in memory and I can't help it
A time that will make me return
