Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La aparecida by Jorge Drexler from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se va la tarde en Zanja Honda
The afternoon goes away in Zanja Honda
La playa es bruma y resplandor
The beach is mist and glow
El viento desde el mar invoca su voz
The wind from the sea invokes his voice
Dicen que vuelve cada marzo
They say it comes back every March
Que canta cuando ya no hay luz
That she sings when there is no light
Y desde la Playa del Faro
And from Playa del Faro
La vieron flotar hacia el Sur
They saw her float south
Vine a verte, aparecida, luz del mirador
I came to see you, appeared, light from the gazebo
Música de las mareas
music of the tides
Con el ocaso detenido
with the sunset stopped
El mar es menos que un rumor
The sea is less than a rumor
Y da paso a cada sonido
And give way to every sound
A cada cambio de color
At each color change
Me tiré solo hasta las dunas
I jumped alone to the dunes
Con la primera oscuridad
with the first darkness
A verla andar sobre la espuma
To see her walk on the foam
Toda mentira y de verdad
all lies and truth
Vine a verte, aparecida, luz del mirador
I came to see you, appeared, light from the gazebo
Música de las mareas, dame tu canción
Music of the tides, give me your song
Crucé la noche caminando
I walked through the night
Desde El Cabito hasta el farol
From El Cabito to the lighthouse
Colgándome de una botella
hanging on a bottle
Tentando a la imaginación
tempting the imagination
Y entre la caña y la vigilia
And between the cane and the vigil
La vi pasar más de una vez
I saw her pass more than once
Yo la seguía por la orilla
I followed her along the shore
Cuando empezaba a amanecer
when it began to dawn
Vine a verte, aparecida, luz del mirador
I came to see you, appeared, light from the gazebo
Música de las mareas
music of the tides
