A La Mar Fui Por Naranjas

I went to the sea for oranges, something the sea doesn't have
No one dared to explain to me if the waves come or go
Oh, my sweet love, That sea you see so beautiful
Oh my sweet love, That sea is a traitor
This bread I touch, has a tongue and knows how to speak,
It only lacks eyes to help me cry
Oh my sweet love, that sea you see so beautiful
Oh my sweet love, that sea is a traitor
I have four handkerchiefs, and all four are red
Four young men court me and three are deceived
Oh my sweet love, that sea you see so beautiful
Oh my sweet love, that sea is a traitor
I have a heart in mourning and a soul full of sorrow
And no matter how much I wash, the water always comes out black
Oh my sweet love, that sea you see so beautiful
Oh my sweet love, that sea is a traitor
I am from Mieres del Camino, I have a dog with a collar,
And I have black eyes, from looking at myself in the river
Oh my sweet love, that sea you see so beautiful
Oh my sweet love, that sea is a traitor
Holy Barbara blessed, Patroness of the miners
That you are written in the sky with paper and holy water
Oh my sweet love, that sea you see so beautiful
Oh my sweet love, that sea is a traitor
