Por la blanda arena
On the soft sand
Que lame el mar
Let him lick the sea
Su pequeña huella
Your small footprint
No vuelve más
Don't come back anymore
Un sendero solo
A solo trail
De pena y silencio llegó
Of sorrow and silence came
Hasta el agua profunda
Up to the deep water
Un sendero solo
A solo trail
De penas mudas llegó
From silent sorrows came
Hasta la espuma
Even the foam
Sabe Dios qué angustia
God knows what anguish
Te acompañó
He accompanied you
Qué dolores viejos
What old pains
Calló tu voz
Silenced your voice
Para recostarte
To lie down
Arrullada en el canto
Cooing in the singing
De las caracolas marinas
Of sea shells
La canción que canta
The song he sings
En el fondo oscuro del mar
On the dark bottom of the sea
La caracola
The conch shell
Te vas Alfonsina
You're leaving Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
With your loneliness
Qué poemas nuevos
What new poems
Fuíste a buscar?
Did you go looking for it?
Una voz antigüa
An ancient voice
De viento y de sal
Wind and salt
Te requiebra el alma
It breaks your soul
Y la está llevando
And he's wearing it.
Y te vas hacia allá
And you go there
Como en sueños
As in dreams
Dormida, Alfonsina
Asleep, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar
Dressed in sea
Cinco sirenitas
Five Little Mermaids
Te llevarán
They will take you
Por caminos de algas
By seaweed paths
Y de coral
And coral
Y fosforescentes
And phosphorescent
Caballos marinos harán
Sea horses will
Una ronda a tu lado
A round by your side
Y los habitantes
And the inhabitants
Del agua van a jugar
From the water they are going to play
Pronto a tu lado
Soon by your side
Bájame la lámpara
Put down the lamp for me
Un poco más
A little more
Déjame que duerma
Let Me Sleep
Nodriza, en paz
Wet nurse, at peace
Y si llama él
And if he calls
No le digas que estoy
Don't tell him I'm
Dile que Alfonsina no vuelve
Tell her Alfonsina doesn't come back
Y si llama él
And if he calls
No le digas nunca que estoy
Never tell him I'm
Di que me he ido
Say I'm gone
Te vas Alfonsina
You're leaving Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
With your loneliness
¿Qué poemas nuevos
What new poems
Fueste a buscar?
Fueste to search?
Una voz antigua
An ancient voice
De viento y de sal
Wind and salt
Te requiebra el alma
It breaks your soul
Y la está llevando
And he's wearing it.
Y te vas hacia allá
And you go there
Como en sueños
As in dreams
Dormida, Alfonsina
Asleep, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar
Dressed in sea
