La milonga del marinero y el capitán [English translation]

The sailor and the Captain

Got together at a bar

And ordered another bottle of rum

That would be the last port,

And it was so much that, in the end

Both of them rest under the sea now

It was all for a crazy blond girl

Who danced by herself until dawn

And she moved so good that

Looking at her meant loosing

Everything for such body and such promise

She wasn’t young but she was bold

And always danced to the beat

She didn’t care about being cast by lot

The night came, the champagne came,

The moment of truth came

And that bet, was won by death in the end

It was all for a crazy blond girl...

When the ship arrives to the city

Women come out, and men alone

Come down to the bars, and tonight everything goes

And you feel your heart

Beat to the rhythm of this Milonga*

Which is the Milonga

Of the sailor and the Captain.

It was all for a crazy blond girl...
