En la tienda de Catarino la comida le da un sabor
In Catarino's store the food gives it a flavor
A la boca como el que deja una larga enfermedad
To the mouth like one who leaves a long illness
Del mar se derrama un viento que huele a ahogado
From the sea a wind spills that smells of drowning
Y a rosa la gente sueña mientras sobre la marea
And to pink the people dream while on the tide
Se quiebra una luna verde, y el pueblo entero se
A green moon breaks, and the whole town
Esconde tras presentimientos y la sombra militar
Hide behind premonitions and the military shadow
A las once de la noche se recogen las aceras y
At eleven o'clock at night the sidewalks are collected and
La gente va a sus casas a olvidar
People go home to forget
Sobre un claro oscuro, entre vida y muerte
On a dark glade, between life and death
Un aroma a rosas llega desde el mar
A scent of roses comes from the sea
La gente está preocupada porque están sintiendo
People are worried because they are feeling
Al revés, y aunque la radio no diga nada todos
On the contrary, and although the radio does not say anything, all
Saben por qué cangrejos plateados la luna han
They know why silver crabs the moon have
Robado y no la quieren devolver
Stolen and they don't want to return it
El pueblo espera en silencio que al regreso de la
The people wait in silence that when they return from the
Marea el olor a rosas vuelva, como ayer
Dizzy the smell of roses returns, like yesterday
Entre un claro oscuro, entre vida y muerte
Between a dark clearing, between life and death
Un olor a rosas llega desde el mar
A smell of roses comes from the sea
Un olor a rosas llega desde el mar
A smell of roses comes from the sea
