Buscando El Mar Lyrics English Translation by Carlos Vives & Juan Luis Guerra 4.40
(feat. Juan Luis Guerra 4.40)
Just with my faith and with my silence
I row through the swamp of time
I look for pieces of my past
And, without noticing, I’ve come back to it (Juan Luis)
I dream of your kisses in silence
And I row through the swamp of time
I want to stay by your side forever
Let us hold each other like the almond trees, eh
I went out to find her, but she hid
Among the clouds of an uncertain past
I tried to catch her and she disappeared
Over the remains of that old ship
I keep searching for the sea and your heart’s not there
In this lost boat, in the loneliness
I keep searching for the sea and your heart’s not there
How I wish in this life I could find you again
Just with my faith and with my silence
I row through the swamp of time
I look for pieces of my past
And, without noticing, I’ve come back to it
I went out to find her, but she hid
Among the clouds of an uncertain past
I tried to catch her and she disappeared
Over the remains of that old ship
I keep searching for the sea and your heart’s not there
In this lost boat, in the loneliness
I keep searching for the sea and your heart’s not there
How I wish in this life I could find you again
This eternal waking that leads me to walk
Through your hibiscus-flower mouth that starts to slide
Like the sun every evening that reaches an end
I feel that just when it’s over I start again
I dreamed
Of changing Macondo with some invention
His old boat got lost in time
And I search for it across the vastness
I keep searching for the sea and your heart’s not there
In this lost boat, in the loneliness
I keep searching for the sea and your heart’s not there (I keep searching)
How I wish in this life I could start again
O-ombe
Come on, buddy Egidio
Juan Luis Guerra y los 4.40
I keep searching for you
I keep searching for you
I keep searching for you
I keep searching for you
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I keep searching for you
Ooh, ooh
I keep searching for you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I keep searching for you
Ooh, ooh
I keep searching for you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I keep searching for you
