Por la blanda arena que lame el mar
For the soft sand that licks the sea
Su pequeña huella no vuelve más
Your small footprint doesn't come back anymore
Un sendero solo de pena y silencio llegó
A path of sorrow and silence alone came
Hasta el agua profunda
Up to the deep water
Un sendero solo de penas mudas llegó
A path only of mute sorrows arrived
Hasta la espuma
Even the foam
Sabe Dios qué angustia te acompañó
God knows what anguish accompanied you
Qué dolores viejos calló tu voz
What old pains silenced your voice
Para recostarte arrullada en el canto
To lie lulled in the song
De las caracolas marinas
Of sea shells
La canción que canta en el fondo oscuro del mar
The song that sings on the dark bottom of the sea
La caracola
The conch shell
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
You leave Alfonsina with your loneliness
¿Qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?
What new poems did you go looking for?
Una voz antigua de viento y de sal
An ancient voice of wind and salt
Te requiebra el alma y la está llevando
It breaks your soul and is carrying it
Y te vas hacia allá como en sueños
And you go there like in dreams
Dormida, Alfonsina, vestida de mar
Asleep, Alfonsina, dressed in sea
Cinco sirenitas te llevarán
Five Little Mermaids will take you
Por caminos de algas y de coral
By paths of algae and coral
Y fosforescentes caballos marinos harán
And phosphorescent sea horses will
Una ronda a tu lado
A round by your side
Y los habitantes del agua van a jugar
And the inhabitants of the water are going to play
Pronto a tu lado
Soon by your side
Bájame la lámpara un poco más
Lower the lamp a little more
Déjame que duerma nodriza, en paz
Let me sleep wet nurse, in peace
Y si llama él no le digas que estoy
And if he calls, don't tell him I'm
Dile que Alfonsina no vuelve
Tell her Alfonsina doesn't come back
Y si llama él no le digas nunca que estoy
And if he calls, don't ever tell him I'm
Di que me he ido
Say I'm gone
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
You leave Alfonsina with your loneliness
¿Qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar?
What new poems did you go looking for?
Una voz antigua de viento y de sal
An ancient voice of wind and salt
Te requiebra el alma y la está llevando
It breaks your soul and is carrying it
Y te vas hacia allá como en sueños
And you go there like in dreams
Dormida, Alfonsina, vestida de mar
Asleep, Alfonsina, dressed in sea
