Con mi propia sangre
With my own blood
Y en mi misma carne
And in my own flesh
Pintaré un tatuaje
I will paint a tattoo
Tendré el privilegio
I will have the privilege
De poder llevarte
To be able to take you
Para que seas parte
To be part of
De lo que soy yo
Of what I am
En el río rojo
On the Red River
Que en mis venas corre
That in my veins runs
Cual nave a su antojo
Which ship at will
Irá tu pasión
Your passion will go
El destino quiso
Fate wanted
Que en mi naufragaras
That in my shipwrecks
En vez de quedarte
Instead of staying
Anclada en mi alma
Anchored in my soul
Puerto de tu amor
Port of your love
Con mi propia sangre
With my own blood
Y en mi misma carne
And in my own flesh
Pintaré un tatuaje
I will paint a tattoo
Tendré el privilegio
I will have the privilege
De poder llevarte
To be able to take you
Para que seas parte
To be part of
De lo que soy yo
Of what I am
En el río rojo
On the Red River
Que en mis venas corre
That in my veins runs
Cual nave a su antojo

Se ha hundido un barco y no se ha salvao nadie
A ship has sunk and no one has been saved
Te pinté en un tatuaje para conmigo llevarte
I painted you in a tattoo for me to take you
En el mar del dolor en una balsita de esperanza
In the sea of pain on a raft of hope
Quien viene a salvarme
Who comes to save me
Que suene la flauta para consolarme
Let the flute sound to comfort me
En el río rojo
On the Red River
Que en mis venas corre
That in my veins runs
Cual nave a su antojo
Which ship at will
Irá tu pasión
Your passion will go
El destino quiso
Fate wanted
Que en mi naufragaras
That in my shipwrecks
En vez de quedarte
Instead of staying
Anclada en mi alma
Anchored in my soul

Port of your love
