Translation to:en

Mis gaviotas

Jugando ayer desnudo por la arenami niñez poco a poco vi pasar,se me escapó sin darme cuenta apenas,soñando con volar.

Irme jugando con el viento,caer sobre el agua un momento.Crecí soñando, cerca del mar,junto a las rocas,un día aprendí a volar,aprendí a volarcomo mis gaviotas.

Y me fui lejos de allíaquel día,sin mirar atrás creíque jamás volvería.

Me encontré un cardo, una flor,un sueño, un amor, una tristeza,me fui solo y luego fuimos dos,un beso, un adiós y todo empieza.

Otra canción, otra ilusión, otras cosas,y harto ya de andarhoy volví a buscarmis gaviotas.

Y no las vi, ellas también se fueronde aquel rincón que nos unió una vez,me quedé solo, escarbando en el suelo,buscando mi niñez.

Ellas no ha de volver jamás,ellas la dejaron atrás,bajo la arena, cerca del mar,junto a unas rocasque no saben volar,que no saben volarcomo mis gaviotas.

Y me voy más triste hoyque aquel día,que sin mirar atráscreí que jamás volvería.

My seagulls

Playing yesterday naked on the sandmy childhood little by little I saw pass,it has escaped me with me barely realising it,dreaming about flying.

To leave playing with the wind,a moment to fall on the water.I was raised dreaming, close to the sea,close to the rocks,one day I learnt to fly,I learnt to flylike my seagulls.

And I left far from therethat day,without looking back I believedthat never would I return.

I found a thistle, a flower,a dream, a love, a sadness,I left alone and later we left as two,a kiss, a goodbye and it all begins.

Another song, another illusion, other things,and already fed up oftoday I returned to search formy seagulls.

And I didn't see them, they also leftfrom that nook that at one time unified us,I remained alone, digging in the ground,searching for my childhood.

They must never return,they left it behind,under the sand, close to the sea,next to some rocksthat cannot fly,that cannot flylike my seagulls.

And I leave more sad todaythan that day,without looking backI believed that never would I return.
