Lyrics
Era la hija del viejito guarda faro,
la princesita de aquella soledad,
y le decían con amor los pescadores
que era la perla más bonita y blanca que guardaba el mar.
Fue para ella que cantaron los marinos
que cruzaban las serenas aguas huérfanas de amor,
y en sus cantos llenos de cariños, siempre le decían
que brillaban sus ojos más que el faro y el sol.

Y escuchando las dulces palabras
de aquellos marinos, feliz sonreía,
para todos guardaba esperanzas
pues era tan buena que a todos quería
y el ensueño de aquellos cantares
volcaba alegría en su corazón,
y solita en aquellos lugares
también como todas forjó una ilusión.

Dicen que un día el capitán de un barco
que navegaba a la deriva y sin timón,
la vio en el faro radiante de belleza
y en su mirada orientó la nave de su corazón.
Y la linda princesita de los mares
sus caricias y ternuras llenas de pasión le dio,
y ahora dicen con dolor aquellos rudos pescadores
que la perla más linda el amor la llevó.

Ya no pasan los lobos marinos
coreando en la proa, humildes canciones,
y la honda tristeza del faro
aumenta la pena de sus corazones
y en las noches oscuras y tristes
si la luz del faro en sus barcos da,
se recuerdan de aquellos ojazos
y a veces algunos se ven lagrimear...
English translation
She was the daughter of the old lighthouse keeper,
the little princess of that solitude,
and the fishermen lovingly told her
that she was the prettiest and whitest pearl that the sea kept.
It was for her that the sailors sang
who crossed the serene waters orphaned of love,
and in their songs full of affection, they always said to her
that her eyes shone brighter than the lighthouse and the sun.

And listening to the sweet words
of those sailors, she smiled happily,
for all she held out hope to all
for she was so good that she loved everyone
and the reverie of those songs
poured joy into her heart,
and alone in those places
like all of them, she forged an illusion.

They say that one day the captain of a boat
who was sailing adrift and without a rudder,
saw her in the lighthouse, radiant with beauty.
and in her gaze he guided the ship of his heart.
And the pretty little princess of the seas
her caresses and tenderness full of passion he gave her,
and now those rude fishermen say with sorrow
that the most beautiful pearl love took her away.

The sea lions no longer pass by
chanting humble songs on the bow,
and the deep sadness of the lighthouse
increases the sorrow of their hearts
and in the dark and sad nights
if the light of the lighthouse on their ships gives,
they remember those big eyes
and sometimes some of them are tearful...
