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?

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.

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?
