Letra de La Perla
La Perla lyrics
En una playa dormida
On a sleeping beach
Bajo una sierra sagrada
Under a sacred mountain
La tarde dulce vestida
The sweet evening dressed
De mil estrellas doradas
Of a thousand golden stars
Hay una perla Andaluza
There is an Andalusian pearl
Sobre la arena plateada
On the silver sand
Y un mar azul que se arrulla
And a blue sea that lulls
Con su belleza encantada
With her enchanted beauty
Mi primer amor, la libertad
My first love, freedom
Mi primero beso
My first kiss
Mi barrio sencillo
My simple neighborhood
La esperanza de mi pueblo
The hope of my people
Los goles de Arango
Arango's goals
Los domingos, los abuelos
Sundays, grandparents
Mi forma de hablar
My way of speaking
Y el llanto
And crying
Que un día me llevé muy lejos
That one day I took myself very far
Santa, al pasar el tiempo
Santa, as time passes
No puedo olvidarte
I can not forget you
Te conocí muy dentro
I knew you deep inside
Y yo quiero
And I want
Cuando sople el viento
When the wind blows
Volver a tu lado
Come back to your side
Y vivir allí
And live there
En una playa dormida
On a sleeping beach
Bajo una sierra nevada
Under a snowy mountain range
Había una historia perdida
There was a lost story
Que encontré bajo mi cama
That I found under my bed
Era la tierra de un hombre
It was the land of a man
De una cultura dorada
Of a golden culture
Que se perdió entre la guerra
That was lost in the war
Las nubes, y fue olvidada
The clouds, and was forgotten
Quiero caminar por esas calles nuevamente
I want to walk those streets again
Quiero despertarme con las voces de mi gente
I want to wake up to the voices of my people
Quiero ver tu nombre en las estrellas; Santa Marta
I want to see your name in the stars; Santa Marta
Y que te recuerdes siempre
And that you always remember
Que te quiero con el alma
That I love you with my soul
Santa, al pasar el tiempo
Santa, as time passes
No puedo olvidarte
I can not forget you
Te conocí muy dentro
I knew you deep inside
Y yo quiero
And I want
Cuando sople el viento
When the wind blows
Volver a tu lado
Come back to your side
Y vivir allí
And live there
Por eso yo quiero
That's why i want
Por las noches te quiero contemplar
At night I want to contemplate you
De tu falda no me quiero soltar
I don't want to let go of your skirt
No es un sueño poder vivir así
It is not a dream to be able to live like this
Y dormir abrazado a ti
And sleep hugging you
Tempranito voy corriendo hasta el mar
I'm running early to the sea
Cayuquito de remos y a remar
Cayuquito of oars and to row
Solo sueño poder vivir así
I just dream that I can live like this
Pescadito que regreso
Little fish that came back
Y Santa, al pasar el tiempo
And Santa, as time passes
No puedo olvidarte
I can not forget you
Te conocí muy dentro
I knew you deep inside
Y yo quiero
And I want
Cuando sople el viento
When the wind blows
Volver a tu lado
Come back to your side
Y vivir allí
And live there
Por eso yo siento
That's why I feel
Que al pasar el tiempo
That as time passes
No puedo olvidar
I can not forget
Que te conocí muy dentro
That I knew you deep inside
Y yo quiero
And I want
Cuando sople el viento
When the wind blows
Volver a tu lado
Come back to your side
Y vivir allí
And live there
En una playa dormida
On a sleeping beach
Bajo una sierra sagrada
Under a sacred mountain
La tarde dulce vestida
The sweet evening dressed
De mil estrellas doradas
Of a thousand golden stars
