Soy marino vivo errante
I am a living wandering sailor
Cruzo por lo siete mares
I cross the seven seas
Y como soy navegante
And since I am a navigator
Vivo entre las tempestades
I live among the storms
Desafiando los peligros que me dan los siete mares
Defying the dangers that the seven seas give me
Cuando el mar esta tranquilo
when the sea is calm
Y hay estrellas en el cielo
And there are stars in the sky
Entre penas y suspiros le hablo a la mujer que quiero
Between sorrows and sighs I talk to the woman I love
Y solo el mar me contesta
And only the sea answers me
Ya no llores marinero
don't cry anymore sailor
Me dicen el siete mares
They tell me the seven seas
Porque ando de puerto en puerto
Because I walk from port to port
Llevando con migo mismo
carrying with myself
Un amor ya casi muerto
A love almost dead
Yo ya quisiera quedarme
I would like to stay
Juntito a mi grana cariño
Together with my grana darling
Pero esa no fue mi vida
But that was not my life
Navegar es mi destino
sailing is my destiny
Estrellita marinera
Sailor star
Compañera de nosotros
companion of us
Que noticia tienes ora
What news do you have now?
De esa que me trae tan loco
The one that drives me so crazy
Si es que todavía me quiere
If she still loves me
Dímelo poquito a poco
tell me little by little
Olas altas olas grandes
high waves big waves
Que me arrastran y me alejan
that drag me away
Cuando anclemos en Tampico
When we anchor in Tampico
quédense un ratio quietas
stay still for a while
Tan siquiera cuatro noches
even four nights
Si es que entienden mis tristezas
If they understand my sadness
Me dicen el siete mares
They tell me the seven seas
Porque ando de puerto en puerto
Because I walk from port to port
Llevando con migo mismo
carrying with myself
Un amor ya casi muerto
A love almost dead
Yo ya quisiera quedarme
I would like to stay
Juntito a mi grana cariño
Together with my grana darling
Pero esa no fue mi vida
But that was not my life
Navegar es mi destino
sailing is my destiny
