Hay sol bueno y mar de espuma Some good sun & foamy sea

By Carolina Ebeid

Hay sol bueno
y mar de espuma
mar de espina
mar de espina
hay sol hay sol
i sol ha
isola sola sola

padre
pájaro padre
búscame
buscar me
buscarme

vaya vaya
sombrerito
sombre som
ber somber
pluma la pluma

Some good sun
& sea of foam
sea of thorn
sea of thorn
some sun some son
is land island
i land a lone lone

father
bird-feather father
search for me
search me
sea rch me

go on go on
little sun hat
sombre som
ber somber
plume the plume
