By the soft sand that the sea licks
Doesn't come back anymore
A path of only pain and silence arrived
A path of only mute sorrows arrived
God knows what anguish accompanied you
What old pains silenced your voice
To lie down lulled in the song
The song that sings in the dark bottom of the sea
You leave Alfonsina, with your loneliness
What new poems did you go to search?
An ancient voice of wind and salt
It breaks your soul and is taking it
Alfonsina, dressed in sea
Five mermaids will carry you
Through paths of seaweed and coral
And phosphorescent seahorses will make
And the inhabitants of the water will play
Lower the lamp for me a little
Let me sleep nurse, in peace
Tell him that Alfonsina isn't coming back
Don't ever tell him that I'm here
You leave Alfonsina, with your loneliness
What new poems did you go to search?
An ancient voice of wind and salt
It breaks your soul and is taking it
Alfonsina, dressed in sea
