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
