Naturaleza muerta [English translation]

The sun hasn't come out yet

and Ana and Miguel

are already on fire.

She's over him,

a man and a woman,

they unmake the bed.

And the sea, who is crazy for Ana,

prefers not to look.

Jealousy isn't missed out

either by the water, the algae or the salt.

At dawn,

Miguel is already

on his boat.

'Give me a kiss, love,

and wait still

by the beach'.

And the sea murmurs in its language,

'Bloody fisherman!

Bid her farewell,

I don't want to share her heart'.

And crying, and crying, and crying for him.

And waiting, and waiting, and waiting afoot

on the shore for Miguel to come back.

In the village, they say

that that white stone is Ana.

Covered in salt and coral,

she awaits on the beach.

Don't wait any longer, stone girl,

Miguel is not coming back.

The mar has him imprisoned

for not wanting to give him a woman.

And crying, and crying, and crying for him.

And waiting, and waiting, and waiting afoot

on the shore for Miguel to come back.

There are even people who claim

that when a tempest happens,

the waves are caused

by Miguel fighting the sea to the death.

*(This stanza should be omitted)

And crying, and crying, and crying for him.

And crying, and crying, and crying for him.

And crying, and crying over the sea.
