Como Castillo de Arena

Like a Sandcastle

Como Castillo de Arena

What a misfortune it has beenQue desgraciaíto ha sío
The one who sows and doesn't reap,Aquel que siembra y no coge,
And the work has been lost.Y el trabajito ha perdío.

Never abandon her,Tú nunca la desampares,
Because the only one who loves youQue la única que te quiere
In this world is your mother.En este mundo es tu mare.

Like a sandcastle,Como castillo de arena,
That was your love for me,Ése fue pa mí tu amor,
So little was the firmnessTan poca era la firmeza
That the wind took it away.Que el viento se la llevó.

And mortal wearinessY son fatiguitas mortales
Is what is cried insideLas que se lloran por dentro
And the tears don't come out.Y las lágrimas no salen.

Don't think that I forgot youNo creas tú que te olvío
Even if I don't go to see you,Aunque yo no vaya a verte,
It would be unfair to have youQue injusto sería tenerte
Always by my sideSiempre al laíto mío
Until death comes.Hasta que llegue la muerte.

I stand looking at the sea,Me pongo mirando al mar,
I see how the wavesVeo cómo las olas
Some come and others go.Unas vienen y otras van.

All my ship despairsTodo mi barco se desespera
Because the dancePorque el baile
No one expects.Nadie lo espera.
PolishDale de betún
The boot,A la bota,
PolishDale de betún
The heel,Al tacón,
You are prettierEres más bonita
Than a corkscrew.Que un tirabuzón.
