No conozco el mar [English translation]

I don't know the sea

But, if its shade of green is

Like our greenery

Here in the sugarcane plantation,

And if there our eyes

Cannot manage, like here,

To see the end

And thus, one would feel

A strange anguish

Due to its immense size.

Yes, I do know the sea...

Yes, I do know the sea...

Yes, I do know the sea...

When, in the afternoon,

The Southerly wind comes

And starts blowing,

And it seems to me

That the sugarcane fields

Ripple like waves,

From the mountains

Where I take shelter,

I sing my song...

I do sing my song...!

I don't know the sea

But, if its shade of green is

Like our greenery

Here in the sugarcane plantation...

Yes, I do know the sea...

Yes, I do know the sea...

Yes, I do know the sea...
