| To cross the wide sea I deserted
| Para cruzar el ancho mar deserté
|
| From the shore I did fly
| Desde la orilla sí volé
|
| I thought it time that I traveled
| Pensé que era hora de que viajara
|
| So I took to the roads of the sky
| Así que tomé los caminos del cielo
|
| It was late and the wind it did gently blow
| Era tarde y el viento soplaba suavemente
|
| Oh, the night it was calm
| Oh, la noche estaba tranquila
|
| I saw the flower of the ocean
| Vi la flor del océano
|
| And the universe did me no harm, it said to fly on
| Y el universo no me hizo daño, decía volar sobre
|
| The sea captain he loved the ocean
| El capitán de mar que amaba el océano
|
| But his ship was on fire
| Pero su barco estaba en llamas
|
| His hands they did stretch out before him
| Sus manos se extendieron delante de él
|
| For to take one of many desires, but there was no time
| Para tomar uno de muchos deseos, pero no hubo tiempo
|
| Across the wide sea he departed
| A través del ancho mar partió
|
| From the ship he did fly
| Desde el barco que voló
|
| He thought it time that he traveled
| Pensó que era hora de que viajara
|
| And I saw him as he passed by, and I saw him as he passed by | Y lo vi al pasar, y lo vi al pasar |
