Lyr. Add: LOS BARCOS
(Azul y Gerbera; 2001)

1.
Desde un puerto salen barcos,
decorados porque hay fiesta.
En cada barcco hay dos personas,
grandes sueños ilusiones.

Coro (chorus)
Hasta que la muerte nos separe,
promotimos desde el muelle.
Y con anilos en los manos,
navegamos, navegamos...oh....oh...
en este mar que es la vida....ah....ah...

2.
Y vemos barcos salir, y vemos otros hundirse.
Y con amigos que han zarpado sin su capitán.
Y vemos otros estancados en lagunas de agua muerta,
otros llevados por el viento, atormentados
por los truenos...oh. oh...
en este mar que que es la vida... ah....ah...

(Solo) (Dos veces) (twice)

Repeat verse 1 and then the chorus
Puente (bridge)
Y este muelle esperan dos por ver partir
su propia nave y cuando el tiempo diga si
te seguiremos....señor

Que nos guies...que nos guies,
que seas nuestro capitán....

Sung by Azul and Gerbera, on the album Sebna.

The following is my translation of this evocative song but the last part after the bridge is beyond my meagre Spanish- Please help! Hear it on Youtube.

THE BOATS

Boats are sailing from port,
Decorated for a fiesta.
Two people are in each boat,
Dreaming grand dreams.

Chorus
Until death do us part,
We promised on the pier.
And with rings on our hands
We sailed... oh...oh...
On this sea which is life... ah...ah...

And we see the boats sail out and we see some sink.
And some with friends who hoisted anchor without their captain.
And we see others stranded in stagnant water,
Others carried by the wind, tormented
by thunderstorms...oh....oh...
In this sea which is life...ah....ah....

(Solo) (twice)
Repeat verse 1 and the chorus
(bridge)
(Bad translation below):

At this pier expect to see two depart
From their boat and when the time comes
We will follow you...señor

That which guides, which guides us,
with our captain...

Nice, song, Q. I was hoping this was the Spanish version of "Barges" you talked about, but not so.
Nice song, nonetheless - but the "Barges" mystery continues.
