La serena

Traditional, arrangements Christophe Hoarau, Paul Mindy
Performer Awena Burgess

If the sea was milk
I would become a merchant
Searching and asking
Where love begins

In the sea is a tower
In the tower is a window
In the window is a girl
Who calls to sailors

Give me your hand, my dove
So that I may climb to your nest
Unlucky is the person who sleeps alone
I am coming to sleep with you

If the sea was milk
I would be a fisherman
I would fish for my sorrows
With words of love

Si la mar era de letche
Yo me ariya vendedor
Kaminando i preguntando
Dònde s’ampesa l’amor

En la mar ay una torre
En la torre ay una ventana
En la ventana una ninya
Ke a los marineros yama

Dame la mano palomba
A suvir a tu lado
Malditcha ke durmes sola
Vengo a durmir kon ti

Si la mar era de letche
Yo me ariya peskador
Peskando los mis dolores
Kon palavrikas d’amor
