1. For the sake of soft, tender bodies
There came to my lips those subtle graces

2. They came down while the sea roared its waves
And for the lords of beauty there were fears

3. So modesty feared to dishonor the flirtatious ones
For them the books of coquetry are pages

4. And how could the sea want to drown the gentle one
From her youth she has what fears hostility

5. If she went out at night, its darkness shone
So she could read in it the scripture of beauty

6. O Lord what is this girl, she is
A creation of light coveted by the gambler

7. If you have not loved and don't know what passion is
Then thank God you are a losing wanderer

8. If he rebels and rebels against us, then we
For our faith in beauty, are lions that bite

9. Hearts are humbled worshipers of them
And if it is said one day that they are deceivers

10. We came to spill into the sea the pains of our hearts
So are you, oh sea of youth, listening?
