Translation:
Silencio.
Cuando llama uno a la suerte
No comparece en ese momento,
En silencio.
Silence.
When one calls on luck
It doesn't present itself in that moment,
In silence.
Solo,
Recogiendo platos rotos,
Va mi compa're [compadre] de puerto en puerto,
En silencio, solo en silencio.
Barquito velero, barquito velero!
Alone,
Picking up broken plates,
Goes my good friend (lit. godfather) from port to port,
In silence, alone in silence.
Little sailing boat, little sailing boat!
Mentira, todo es mentira.
Los sueños y las ilusiones
Sin timón hacia la deriva.
Lie, everything is a lie.
The dreams and the illusions
Without helm towards the drift.
Susurran callaítas, mares, cielos y ríos,
Tierras lejanas, madres y niñas,
Testigos de un tiempo
De tanto odio y tanta injusticia.
They whisper quietly, seas, skies, and rivers,
Faraway lands, mothers and girls,
Witnesses of a time
Of so much hate and so much injustice.
Miraba las estrellas una noche de verano,
Buscando la ternura, que tuvo y no volverá.
Juguete de papel desvanecía en sus manos,
Inocencia que tuvo y no volverá.
