Señor, ya me arrancaste lo que yo más queria. Oye otra vez, Dios mío, mi corazón clamar. Tu voluntad se hizo, Señor, contra la mía. Señor, ya estamos solos mi corazón y el mar.
Lord, you have torn from me what I loved most. Listen again, God, to my heart’s supplication. Your will has been done, Lord, against mine. My heart and the sea, Lord, are already alone.
