Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Dime si algún día tu volverás
Tell me if one day you'll return
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Dime si algún día tú volverás
Tell me if one day you'll return
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Dime si algún día regresarás
Tell me if one day you'll come back
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Dime si algún día tú volverás
Tell me if one day you'll return
Arenita de mi playa
Little sand from my beach
Di algún día con la espuma del mar
One day I met you with the foam of the sea
Arenita de mi playa
Little sand from my beach
Si algún día la miras regresar
If one day you see her return
Caminito de la vida
Little path of life
Mira que me has traído hasta acá
See how you've brought me this far
Caminito de mi vida
Little path of my life
Hasta donde tu me llevarás
To where you will take me
Ay olita del altamar
Oh wave of the deep sea
Ay olita del altamar
Oh wave of the deep sea
Si en mi corazón tú rompieras
If you broke my heart
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Si en tu corazón yo viviera
If I lived in your heart
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Con el viento yo fui y te busqué
With the wind, I went and searched for you
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Con el tiempo después naufrague
With time, I later shipwrecked
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Ay olita del altamar
Oh little wave of the deep sea
Dime si algún día regresarás
Tell me if someday you'll return
Ay olita del altamar
Oh wave of the open sea
Ay olita del altamar
Oh wave of the open sea
Dime si algún día tu volverás
Tell me if someday you'll come back
Hermanos, hermanas
Brothers, sisters
Nuestra vida una olita
Our life a little wave
La mar, nuestra abuelita
The sea, our grandmother
Regresemos alegres pues
Let's return joyfully then
De regreso a la inmensidad
Back to the vastness
