Érase una noche común, era en una mesa de bar
Once upon a common night, it was at a bar table
Era enero en aquel lugar y ella me miró de una manera
It was January in that place and she looked at me a certain way
Agua de mar
Sea water
Era de fumar y reír, era de saber esperar
It was about smoking and laughing, it was about knowing how to wait
Era de salir a buscar, no era una mirada cualquiera
It was about going out to search, it wasn't just any glance
Era de amar
It was about love
Voy caminando
I'm walking
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Voy caminando, voy
I'm walking, I am
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Y una gota puede tener todos los secretos del mar
And a drop can hold all the secrets of the sea
Todo lo que pueda contar, todo lo que vino después, era
Everything I could tell, everything that came after, it was
De imaginar
About imagining
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Voy caminando, voy
I'm walking, I am
Voy... por el fondo del mar
I’m... through the depths of the sea
Érase una noche común, era en una mesa de bar
Once upon a common night, it was at a bar table
Era enero en aquel lugar y ella me miró de una manera
It was January in that place and she looked at me a certain way
Agua de mar
Sea water
De fumar y reír, era de saber esperar
About smoking and laughing, it was about knowing how to wait
Era de salir a buscar, no era una mirada cualquiera

Caminando voy
Walking I am
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Voy caminando, voy
I'm walking, I am
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Por el fondo del mar
Through the depths of the sea
Por el fondo del mar
