Vivo junto al mar
I live by the sea
Y durante la noche
And during the night
Me sumerjo en él
I dive into it
Hasta lo más profundo
To the very depths
Bajo las corrientes
Under the currents
Y suelto mi ancla
And I let go of my anchor
Y es donde me quedo
And that's where I stay
Ese es mi hogar
That is my home
Vivo junto al mar
I live by the sea
Y durante la noche
And during the night
Me sumerjo en él
I dive into it
Hasta lo más profundo
To the very depths
Bajo las corrientes
Under the currents
Y suelto mi ancla
And I release my anchor
Y es donde me quedo
And that's where I stay
Ese es mi hogar
That is my home
