Mar [English translation]

They say he left

in a grey afternoon and

his ship got lost int he sea

They say he left behind

his beloved Helena and

the story of them in her belly

And many moons have passed

and she was searching for names

drawing in the sand

Helena was waiting

A wreck of a love

a drift without horizon

Salt, sea and awaiting (for

the) return of spring

She was begging for Lemasha

to make a net from its hair

which is as great as the sea

They say he returned

like a star

which was shining for his beloved one

She’s still waiting for him

It’s getting dark in the riverside

Every falling star

takes her hope back to home

A wreck of a love

a drift without horizon

Salt, sea and awaiting (for

the) return of spring
