Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Barca by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Al golpe del remo
To the blow of the oar
Se agitan en las olas
They stir in the waves
Ligera la barca
Light the boat
Y al ruido del agua
And the noise of water
Se ahonda mi pena
My grief deepens
Y solloza mi alma
And sob my soul
Por tantos pesares
For so many sorrows
Mi amor angustiado
My anguished love
Llorando te llama
Crying calls you
Y te hallas muy lejos
And you are far away
Y sola, muy sola
And alone, very lonely
Se encuentra mi alma
My soul is found
Yo soy el marino
I am the sailor
Que alegre de Guaymas
How cheerful of Guaymas
Salió una mañana
Left one morning
Llevando en mi barca
Taking in my boat
Como ave piloto
As a pilot bird
Mi dulce esperanza
My sweet hope
Por mares ignotos
By unknown seas
Mis santos anhelos
My Holy Longings
Hundió la borrasca
The storm sank
Por eso están rotas
That's why they're broken
Las velas y traigo
The candles and I bring
La muerte en el alma
Death in the soul
Cansado viajero
Tired traveler
Que tornas a puertos
That you turn to ports
De tierras lejanas
From distant lands
¿Qué extraño piloto
What a strange pilot
Condujo tu barca
He drove your boat
Sin vela y sin anclas?
No sail and no anchors?
¿De qué región vienes
What region do you come from?
Que has hecho pedazos
That you have torn to pieces
Tus velas tan blancas?
Your candles so white?
Te fuiste cantando
You left singing
Y hoy vuelves trayendo
And today you come back bringing
La muerte en el alma
Death in the soul
