A medium-tempo melody. An expressive opening solo from fretless bass with warm violins in support sets the mood for this gentle and tender bolero. The rising lines of the vocal melody are interwoven with solo guitar lines. A song for an evening drink reminiscing of a faded love as the sun sets over the sea. (Spanish lyrics)
On the dock of that port, drunk on your waist, we began that journey under the moonlight. Navigator without a sailboat, I was the footprint of the rain and in the anchor of your hair sailor without fortune, and the sea, the sea always the sea, with its breath stuck to my skin, and the sea, the sea always the sea With its lullaby of times past, the sea, the sea We were children of the foam that are now our desires, shipwrecked of an adventure, of a boat without timbers and you untied my lips with the magic of your kisses and to the summit of your breasts I climbed to pray for your body, and the sea, the sea always the sea, with its breath stuck to my skin and the sea, the sea always the sea, with its lullaby of times past, the sea, the sea The night comes to stay to weave the mist that on the sand was witness to an I still love you, and I go playing with life, and despite your departure in the trench of a dream your memory walks me and the sea, the sea, always the sea with its breath stuck to my skin, And the sea, the sea always the sea, with its lullaby of times past, the sea, the sea.
En el muelle de aquel puerto,
borracho de tu cintura,
emprendimos aquel viaje
bajo el faro de la luna.
Navegante sin velero,
fui la huella de la lluvia
y en el ancla de tu pelo
marinero sin fortuna,
y el mar, el mar
siempre el mar,
con su aliento pegado a mi piel,
y el mar, el mar
siempre el mar
Con su arrullo de tiempos
de ayer,
el mar, el mar
Fuimos hijos de la espuma
que ahora son nuestros deseos,
náufragos de una aventura,
de una barca sin maderos
y desataste mis labios
con la magia de tus besos
y a la cumbre de tus senos
subí a rezar por tu cuerpo,
y el mar, el mar
siempre el mar,
con su aliento pegado a mi piel
y el mar, el mar
siempre el mar,
con su arrullo de tiempos
de ayer,
el mar, el mar
La noche viene a quedarse
para tejer la neblina
que en la arena fue testigo
de un te quiero todavía,
y voy jugando a la vida,
y a pesar de tu partida
en la trinchera de un sueño
tu recuerdo me camina
y el mar, el mar,
siempre el mar
con su aliento pegado a mi piel,
Y el mar, el mar
siempre el mar,
con su arrullo de tiempos
de ayer,
el mar, el mar.
