Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Navegarei (Pancho Alvarez)
Thanks, Joe and Monique. I've sent him email and on his FB page - to no avail. I know he WAS touring before pandemic - mostly with arlos Nunes.

I have much of the lyrics transcribed by an Ecuadorian friend, but as you say, Galician is a mix of 2 languages and not simple. But maybe these will help.

Navegaré al fin del mar
____?
A favor del viento, navegando
Viento contra viento, navegando viviré
El marinero está en mi corazón
No cabe ___? No sabe estar preso
____? el océano
Donde llega a nacer rayo sus caminos
Portame océano, arrástrame mar
Este corazón marino quiere llegar al final
Al fin del mundo hay un ____?
Se llama libertad (?)
Cruzaré oceano yo traeré
Navegaré, Navegaré “marinando” viviré
Corazon ____? Animal que ___ negro
Que vas oculto adentro
Corazon aventurero
Llamas por mi ___
Que desea partir
Estas ciego al oído del mar
Oceano, mineral, vegetal
Navegar, “marinando” viviré
…..

[Attempted translation, tho I'd be happy with just the Galician words intact].

I will sail to the end of the sea
___?
With the wind, sailing
Wind against wind, sailing I will live
Sailing is in my heart
Doesn’t fit ___? Is not held prisoner
__? The ocean
Where it is born marks its pathways
Take me away, ocean, drag me away, sea
This sailor’s heart wants to arrive at the end
At the end of the world there is a ___?
It’s called freedom (?? Not sure about this line)
I will cross the ocean, I will bring (?)
Sailing, Sailing, being a sailor I will live
Heart __? Animal that ___? Black
That goes hidden inside
Adventurous heart
You call for me __
That wants to leave
You are blind to the call of the sea
Ocean, mineral, vegetable
Sailing, being a sailor I will live
