Original lyrics
En la mar
En la mar hay una torre
en la torre una ventana
en la ventana hay una hija
ke a los marineros yama.
Dame la mano palomba
para subir a tu nido
maldicha ke durmes sola
vengo a durmir contigo.
Si la mar era de leche,
yo m' aría un pishkador.
peshkaría las mis dolores
kon palavrikas d'amor.
Si la mar era de leche,
los barkitos de kanela,
yo me mancharía 'ntera
por salvar la mi bandiera.

In the sea
In the sea there's a tower,
in the tower there's a window,
in the window there's a maiden
who calls out to the sailors.
"Give me your hand, my dove,
so that I may climb up to your nest1,
you are cursed to sleep alone,
I've come to lay with you".
If the sea was made of milk
I would become a fisherman,
I would fish for my sorrows
with words of affection2.
If the sea was made of milk
and the little ships made of cinnamon,
I'd drench myself entirely
in order to save my flag.
