Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

Lady love, go back to sleep,Dama amor, vuelve a dormir,

Dry the tears from your eyes,Seca las lágrimas de tus ojos,

But I cannot stay with theePero no puedo quedarme contigo

Until the morning,Hasta la mañana,

For the dawn is breaking,Porque el amanecer está llegando,

And my ship is waiting for me,Y mi barco me espera,

And I must go,Y debo irme,

But I'll be back, yes,Pero volveré, sí,

Before this year is over;Antes de que termine este año;

So we sailed across the sea,Así que navegamos por el mar,

Till we found America,Hasta que encontramos América,

'Round the Cape of StormsAlrededor del Cabo de las Tormentas

We set our sails for home,Pusimos rumbo a casa,

And when the sea was roaringY cuando el mar rugía

And the Lord I calledY al Señor llamé

To help my drowning men,Para ayudar a mis hombres que se ahogaban,

I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window...Vi la luz, sí, la vela en tu ventana...

And I have brought you silver,Y te he traído plata,

And I have brought you gold,Y te he traído oro,

And spices from the Indies in the hold;Y especias de las Indias en la bodega;

I've seen ships on the horizon,He visto barcos en el horizonte,

That I'd swear were going down,Que juraría que se estaban hundiendo,

But now I know for certain,Pero ahora sé con certeza,

The world is round,Que el mundo es redondo,

I have seen, my eyes have seen.He visto, mis ojos han visto.

One day says Galileo,Un día dice Galileo,

A man will reach the sky,Un hombre alcanzará el cielo,

And see the world completely,Y verá el mundo por completo,

From outside,Desde afuera,

And gazing down from younder,Y mirando desde allá arriba,

On a world of blue and green,En un mundo de azul y verde,

He'll say with eyes of wonder,Dirá con ojos de asombro,

I have seen, I have seen,He visto, he visto,

My eyes have seen.Mis ojos han visto.

I have seen,He visto,

My eyes have seen.Mis ojos han visto.
