Mar Adentro, Despacito

Dicen que una luna se ha enredado entre tu pelo
y mis dedos no la pueden arrancar
es que llevo el mar aquí tan dentro de mi pecho
y es por eso que me cuesta respirar.

Mar adentro, despacito yo camino sin tocar la arena
despierto y sigo solo encontrando
la manera de tocar tu voz
de tocar tu olor

Creo que siento el sol aquí quemándome en el cuerpo
y es por eso que me cuesta despertar
creo que veo el mar, el mar atrás de la montaña
y por qué me cuesta tanto irlo a buscar?
====================================================

The Sea Inside, Slowly

They say a moon is tangled in your hair
but somehow my fingers just can't take it away.

It's just that I have the sea inside,
inside my chest,
perhaps that is why it's so hard for me to breathe.

I walk slowly into the sea without touching the sand...
I wake up inside the sea trying to find a way to touch your voice,
to touch your scent...
but I can't.
I think I feel the sun right here,
warming my body;
perhaps that's why it's so heard for me to wake up.

I think I see the sea, the sea behind the mountain
but why is it so hard for me to find?

Flamenco, Spanish rhythm.

Inspired by the spanish movie "The Sea Inside", directed by Alejandro Amenábar and masterfuly acted by Javier Bardem; dedicated to the life and joy of Ramón Sampedro who lived tetraplegic for 26 years.
