Niebla del Riachuelo [English translation]

Murky anchorage where ships go dock

by the pier, to remain there forever more

Shadows that stretch out upon the painful night...

They are the world's castaways, who have lost their hearts...

Bridges and ropes where the wind comes to howl

ships loaded with coal that will never set sail

Grim burial ground of ships that die whilst dreaming

which, nevertheless, will have to go to sea

Mist from the creek

tied to memory

I am still waiting

Mist from the creek

That love whence

you keep moving me farther and farther away

She never returned

I never saw her again

Never again her voice

Named my name next to me...

That same voice that said: farewell

Dream, sailor along with your old bergantine

Drink to your longings in the deaf little coffee shop

It rains on the port, meanwhile my song

rains itself upon your desolation

Anchors which never, ever again shall be raised

Barges with boards without moorings that shall never be released

Gloomy caravans without destiny of dreams,

like a ship trapped inside this cheap restaurant.

Mist from the creek

tied to memory

I am still waiting

Mist from the creek

That love whence

you keep moving me farther and farther away

She never returned

I never saw her again

Never again her voice

Named my name next to me...

That same voice that said: farewell
