oh me, oh my....

Such a beautiful heart breaking song, A true story Alfonsina, a woman with a broken heart who drown her sorrow and herself in the ocean, it was very hard to translate such a beautiful Spanish song in to English, I feel like it looses its meaning but non the less if you read the lyrics in English and listen to the song in Spanish you hear the heartache. This is my Moms Favorite song!

Alfonsina y el mar

On the soft sand

That is licked by the sea

Her small footprint

Will never return

A solitary path

Of sorrow and silence arrived At the depths of the ocean

A solitary path

Of muted sorrows rose To the sea foam
God knows the angst Which accompanied you

The ancient pain

Which quieted your voice

To let you rest

With the song

Of the sea shell

The song played

At the dark depths of the sea

The Sea Shell
You are leaving Alfonsina

With your loneliness

Which new poems Did you go find?

An ancient voice

Made of wind and salt

Breaks your soul

And takes it away

And you float away As in dreams

Asleep, Alfonsina

Dressed by the sea
Five mermaids Will take you

Through paths covered in seaweed

And coral

And fluorescent Sea horses will make

A ring around you

And the inhabitants

Of the sea will soon play

By your side
Lower the lamp

A little moreLet me sleep

In peace, nurse

And if he calls Don't tell him I am here

Tell him Alfonsina has left

And if he ever calls

Don't ever tell him I'm here

Tell him I've left
You are leaving Alfonsina

With your loneliness

Which new poems Did you go find?An ancient voice

Made of wind and salt

Breaks your soul

And takes it away

And you float away As in dreams

Asleep,

Alfonsina

Dressed by the sea
