| Tragic Surf (original) | Tragic Surf (traducción) |
|---|---|
| I’d never seen such a night | Nunca había visto una noche así |
| The air was still | El aire estaba quieto |
| The moon was bright | la luna era brillante |
| The shore glistened | La orilla brillaba |
| As Johnny and I listened | Mientras Johnny y yo escuchábamos |
| To the waves as they crashed on the rocks | A las olas cuando se estrellaban contra las rocas |
| Who would have thought | Quien lo hubiera pensado |
| Who would have known | quien hubiera sabido |
| That night I’d leave | Esa noche me iría |
| The beach alone | la playa sola |
| He talked of that wave | Habló de esa ola |
| As though it were alive | Como si estuviera vivo |
| It was him against it | Era él en contra |
| Only one would survive | Solo uno sobreviviría |
| I sat on the shore | me senté en la orilla |
| Johnny grabbed his board | Johnny agarró su tabla |
| My senses were numbed | Mis sentidos estaban adormecidos |
| By the ocean’s deadly roar | Por el rugido mortal del océano |
| I held my breath | contuve la respiración |
| As she started too swell | Como ella comenzó a hincharse demasiado |
| That demon wave | Esa ola demoníaca |
| Straight from hell | Directamente del infierno |
| Oh what a sight | Oh que vista |
| What a sweet ride that night | Que dulce paseo esa noche |
| As he sailed across her crest | Mientras navegaba a través de su cresta |
| Silhouette in the moonlight | silueta a la luz de la luna |
| He stood strong and tall | Se mantuvo fuerte y alto |
| For a second forever | Por un segundo para siempre |
| He had it all | lo tenia todo |
| Then she crashed down | Entonces ella se estrelló |
| I saw his board split in half | Vi su tabla partida por la mitad |
| Johnny disappeared from sight | Johnny desapareció de la vista |
| But I can still hear his laugh | Pero todavía puedo escuchar su risa |
| Ah ha ha ha … | Ah, ja, ja, ja… |
