Alfonsina Y El Mar (english) Lyrics - Shakira

By the white sand that takes the sea 

her little footprit in the sand don't return anymore 

a footpath of sadness and silence 

came until deep water 

a footpath of silent sorrow 

came until the foam 

only God knows how desperate you were, 

how many pain lived in you 

to sleep tight in the chant 

of conches 

the song that it sang 

in the deep sea

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

you're gone, Alfonsina, with your solitude 

What poems are you going to find? 

an old voice of the wind and salt 

breaks your heart and it's calling you 

and you go there like if you were dreaming 

Alfonsina, sea's dressed 

five mermaids will drive you 

by algaes and coralline roads 

and phosphorecent sea horses 

will enlace you 

the sea's habitants are going to play 

sooner with you 

get the lamp a Little more 

let me sleep in peace 

but if he call my name, don't tell him I'm here 

tell him that Alfonsina won't return 

but if he call my name, don't tell him never I'm here 

say him I'm gone

You're gone, Alfonsina, with your solitude 

What poems are you going to find? 

an old voice of the winf and salt 

breaks your heart and it's calling you 

now, you're gone, like in dreams 

Alfonsina, sea's dressed
