Espero regresar,
I hope to return,
a la otra orilla del mar
to the other shore of the sea
Rosa de los vientos,
Rose of the winds,
ya me cansé de navegar
I'm tired of sailing
Hoy me despido del Atlas astral
Today I say goodbye to the astral atlas
de la regadera de aurora boreal
of the northern lights shower
Cambió de estación
It changed season
Pierdo la visión
I lose my sight
Hoy te digo adiós
Today I say goodbye
Bon Voyage
Bon Voyage
Cuando llegues al puerto,
When you arrive at the port,
promete me vas a buscar
promise me you'll look for me
Llevas la barba larga
You have a long beard
y la cara cortada de sal
and a face cut by the salt
Cuántas historias te trajo la mar
How many stories did the sea bring you
Criaturas Nocturnas te quiero escuchar
Nocturnal creatures, I want to hear you
No sé lo que haré
I don't know what I'll do
No sé ni quién soy
I don't even know who I am
Hoy me digo adiós
Today I say goodbye
Bon voyage
Bon voyage
