¡Viva viernes! (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)
La fecha es el diecisiete (17) de enero del año dos mil veinticinco. (The date is January 17, 2025.)
Sólo el Mar (Only the Sea) is a pop song by Chilean singer Nicole. The sea is a metaphor for a person’s inner emotions.
“Bucear en el fondo de tu alma” (Diving in the depths of your soul),
“Tenderme en tu calma y en tu borde navegar” (Lying down in your calm and navegating on your border),
“Agua, cielo, cielo y agua resumen en ti” (Water, sky, sky and water sum up to you),
“Sólo el mar…” (Only the sea).
“Contemplarte, en tus tardes cenicientas y en las caracolas de tu enfado naufragar” (To gaze at you, on your ash-gray afternoons and to get shipwrecked in the conch shells of your ire),
“Nubes grises mil tormentas resumen en ti” (Gray clouds, a thousand storms sum up to you),
“Sólo el mar…” (Only the sea).
“Y en tus olas mi temor y en tu brisa mi deseo y al compás de tu marea el puñal de mi mareo y mirarte y encontrar solamente tu reflejo en el mar…” (And in your waves, my fear, and in your breeze, my desire, and to the beat of your tide, the stab of my dizziness, and to look at you and only find your reflection in the sea…).
“Derramar tu esencia en el cuenco de mi mano” (To pour your essence in the cup of my hand),
“Perderte, recogerte y volverte a derramar” (To lose you, collect you, and pour you over again),
“Sal, coral, espuma y barro resumen en ti” (Salt, coral, foam, and mud sum up to you),
“Sólo el mar…” (Only the sea).
¡Cantemos! (Let’s sing!) Sing along to la letra (the lyrics).
¡Que tengas un viernes volante! (May you have a flying Friday!)
