Mar Adentro Lyrics in English Amanda Miguel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mar Adentro by Amanda Miguel from Spanish to English.
Sigo nadando mar adentro
I keep swimming deep out to sea
Sigo dirigiéndome a la inmensidad
I keep heading to the vastness
Me tiene casi sin aliento
It has me almost breathless
Pero en tierra firme lo estaría más
But on solid ground I would be even more so
Sigo camino al mar abierto
I keep going to the open sea
Sin echar de menos lo que dejo atrás
Without missing what I leave behind
Para mí solo este momento
For me, just this moment
Lejos del cemento, rumbo hacia la libertad
Far from the concrete, heading towards freedom
Uh, consigo escapar de la masa
Uh, I manage to escape from the crowd
Cloruro sódico que vuelve a casa
Sodium chloride that returns home
Voy a emigrar de nuevo el mar será mi casa
I'm going to emigrate again, the sea will be my home
Quedaos con vuestros whaddup, yo, qué pasa
You all keep your whaddup, yo, what's up
Que ya no entiendo esta cultura
I no longer understand this culture
Hemos luchado duro y aún veo nuestro futuro entre la basura
We've fought hard and I still see our future among the trash
Mira, vuelvo a caer ya me la suda
Look, I fall again, I don't give a f*ck
Caigo de pie con voltereta a estas alturas, prima, no te quepa duda
I land on my feet with a flip by now, girl, don't doubt it
Soy un Soy de donde el botafumeiro
I am a... I'm from where the botafumeiro is
Sigo el camino del can de palleiro
I follow the path of the Palleiro dog
Vida más de placa-placa que de hamaca
Life more of hustle and bustle than of a hammock
Acabamos en Boisaca o acabamos en Teixeiro
We end up in Boisaca or we end up in Teixeiro
He buscado líos como Buscapé
I've looked for trouble like Buscapé
Pero yo gano la lucha cuando pierdo la fé
But I win the fight when I lose faith
No esperes verme luego, que no llego
Don't expect to see me later, I won't make it
Comienza un nuevo juego para este Acuario hecho de fuego
A new game begins for this Aquarius made of fire
Me piro mar adentro que se está más solo y mucho más tranquilo
I'm off deep out to sea, where it's lonelier and much calmer
Lejos del gentío y de su ruido
Far from the crowd and its noise
Con la fuerza del océano abierto
With the strength of the open ocean
Nadando casi sin aliento
Swimming almost breathless
Sigo nadando mar adentro
I keep swimming deep out to sea
Yo nací para ser libre, fuck a tu oficina
I was born to be free, f*ck your office
Para mí solo este momento
For me, just this moment
Lejos del cemento
Far from the concrete
Vengo de la nada, el que nada no se ahoga (no se ahoga)
I come from nothing, he who swims doesn't drown (doesn't drown)
Sacando dieces en el test de drogas
Getting perfect scores on the drug test
Hoy por hoy prefiero vivir en cholas
Nowadays I prefer to live in flip-flops
Ser un cuerpo de sal consumido por las olas
To be a body of salt consumed by the waves
Uh, Tantos que viven del cuento que buscan la gloria
Uh, So many who live a lie seeking glory
Que no viven ni atentos no pisan el dojo y esperan victorias
Who aren't even mindful, don't step into the dojo and expect victories
Tu que va' ser guerrero ni pollas
You a warrior, my a**
Que no lo pillas? No tengo tiempo - animal de centro
Don't you get it? I don't have time - city animal
Tú y yo somos otro cuento, tú tirao en la playa, yo nadando adentro
You and I are a different story, you sprawled on the beach, I swimming deep out
Sigo nadando mar adentro
I keep swimming deep out to sea
Sigo dirigiéndome a la inmensidad
I keep heading to the vastness
Me tiene casi sin aliento
It has me almost breathless
Pero en tierra firme lo estaría más
But on solid ground I would be even more so
Sigo camino al mar abierto
I keep going to the open sea
Sin echar de menos lo que dejo atrás
Without missing what I leave behind
Para mí solo este momento
For me, just this moment
Lejos del cemento, rumbo hacia la libertad
Far from the concrete, heading towards freedom

botafumeiro — censer (specifically, the large censer in Santiago de Compostela Cathedral)
Botafumeiro refers to a very large censer, famously used in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. It's a unique and culturally specific word that you won't encounter in everyday Spanish or many other songs.
In the lyrics, the artist says, "Soy de donde el botafumeiro / Sigo el camino del can de palleiro." This line connects the artist's identity to Galicia, the region where Santiago de Compostela is located, and evokes a sense of tradition and a specific cultural heritage, making it a memorable and intriguing choice.
