La Aparecida [English translation]
La Aparecida [English translation]
The afternoon is going in Zanja Honda; 2.
the shore is all fog and shine,
the wind, from the sea, calls her voice.
They say she comes back every March,
that she sings when the light is gone,
and from the Light house Shore
they saw her floating towards the South.
I came to see you, Apparition, light of the watchtower,
music of the tides.
With the sunset detained
the sea is less than a rumor,
and makes way for each sound,
each change of color.
I walked alone all the way to the dunes
when it started to get dark,
to see her walk on the foam,
all of her a lie, all of it a truth.
I came to see you, Apparition, light of the watchtower,
music of the tides, give me your song.
I went through the night walking
from El Cabito up to the lighthouse, 3/4.
hanging on to a bottle
tempting the imagination.
And between the cane and the vigil 5.
I saw her pass by more than once,
I fallowed her along the shore
when the day was beginning to break.
I came to see you, Apparition, light of the watchtower,
music of the tides.
