| oh love of the north with a dream in his hand
| oh amor del norte con un sueño en la mano
|
| my love has come home to this beautiful land
| mi amor ha vuelto a casa a esta hermosa tierra
|
| and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun
| y entra por la puerta con los ojos como el sol
|
| and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he’s won
| y su mochila llena de los tesoros que ha ganado
|
| a bottle, a broom, an old foreign tale
| una botella, una escoba, un viejo cuento extranjero
|
| the shell of a clam, and the jaws of a whale
| la concha de una almeja, y las fauces de una ballena
|
| my kitchen is full of the smell of the sea
| mi cocina esta llena de olor a mar
|
| and all the fine things that my love brings to me
| y todas las cosas buenas que me trae mi amor
|
| come gather your treasures, a garden in bloom
| ven a recoger tus tesoros, un jardín en flor
|
| and bring them along to our sweet little room
| y llevarlos a nuestra pequeña y dulce habitación
|
| with the sun in the morning ablaze on your chest
| con el sol de la mañana ardiendo en tu pecho
|
| my love has come home from the north or northwest
| mi amor ha llegado a casa desde el norte o el noroeste
|
| oh love of the north with a dream in his hand
| oh amor del norte con un sueño en la mano
|
| my love has come home to this beautiful land
| mi amor ha vuelto a casa a esta hermosa tierra
|
| and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun
| y entra por la puerta con los ojos como el sol
|
| and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he’s won | y su mochila llena de los tesoros que ha ganado |
