Jorge Drexler "Cerca Del Mar" lyrics

Translation to:en

Cerca Del Mar

Una bolsa de leche encallada en la arena,Un murmullo azul como un cascabel,Un viento salado que se mete en las venas,Una algarabía estira, estira la piel.

(Desde el sol caía un velo blanco, luz del mediodía).

Cerca del mar.

Toda piel se vuelve presa del yodo,Toda bisagra se vuelve a herrumbrar,Todo el mundo dice pasar de todo,Y todo el mundo vuelve, vuelve a probar.

(Una casa blanca se va hundiendo sola entre las dunas).

Cerca del mar, cerca del mar.

Una vez se fueron hasta la playa,Una noche antes de Carnaval,Una vez se pasaron de la raya,Todo el año para rememorar.

(El viento llevaba una guitarra lejos en la noche).

Cerca del mar, cerca del mar,Cerca del mar, cerca del mar.

Una sombra crece en el horizonte,Una carpa vuela en el temporal,Los bañistas como pueden se esconden,Cargan con lo que pudieron salvar.

(Ese mar no es agua y sal, es sangre verde y desbocada).

Un rastafari del barrio de Pocitos,Flota en el sopor de la grappamiel,Prueba la madera de un entrepiso,Haciendo el amor en puntas de pie.

(Todo brillo es oro bajo el lente leve del verano).

Cerca del mar, cerca del mar,Cerca del mar, cerca del mar.

Near The Sea

A bag of milk stranded on the sand,A blue murmur like a bell,A salty wind that gets into the veins,A cacophony stretches, stretches the skin.

(From the sun a white veil falls, the midday light.)

Near the sea.

All skin becomes prey to iodine,All hinges rust,Everyone says they get by,But everyone keeps on trying.

(A white house is sinking by its self among the dunes.)

Near the sea, near the sea.

Once they went to the beachOne night before CarnivalOnce they crossed the line,All year to remember.

(The wind carried a guitar far at night.)

Near the sea, near the sea,Near the sea, near the sea.

A shadow grows on the horizon,A tent flies in the storm,The bathers hide as they can,They carry what they could salvage.

(That sea isn't salt water, it's green and overflowing blood.)

A Rastafarian, from the neighborhood of Pocitos,Floats in the drowsiness of grappamiel,Try the wood of a mezzanine,Making love on tippytoe.

(Everything that glitters is gold under the mild light of summer.)

Near the sea, near the sea,Near the sea, near the sea.
