Original lyrics
Si la mar era de leche Los barquitos de canela Yo me mancharia entera Por salvar la mi bandera Si la mar era de leche Yo me haria un pexcador Pexcaria las mis dolores Con palavricas de amor En la mar hay una torre En la torre una ventana En la ventana hay una hija Que a los marineros ama. Dame tu mano palomba Para suvir a tu nido Maldicha que durmes sola vengo a durmir contigo
Translated lyrics
Calm/The Mermaid If the sea was milk The boats of cinnamon I would quite dip in To save my banner. If the sea was milk I would be a fisherman I would fish for my sorrows with words of love. in the sea there is a tower In the tower is a window In the window is a girl that loves sailors. Give me your hand mu dove to come up to your nest Unlucky are you that sleep alone I am coming to sleep with you.
Notes
The same melody is found in "Bat Galim". from:lolik levi: ther is more version for "la serena"[12] = el amor seampese de los hojos de los hojos al korason de korason se va al bofe e mas hy no hay eskapasion. = no me mates kon kuchio ni menos kon revolver mata me kon tus amores en tus brasos morire. See En La Mar, above, for more verses
