The song is a tribute to the poetess Alfonsina Storni, who committed suicide in 1938 in Mar del Plata, jumping into the water from a breakwater, although, according to the song, she slowly went into the sea. This connection has given rise to a widespread but erroneous rumor, according to which the lyrics of the song were originally the poetess's suicide letter, later set to music by the authors of the zamba.<ref name="Wiki"/> | The song is a tribute to the poetess Alfonsina Storni, who committed suicide in 1938 in Mar del Plata, jumping into the water from a breakwater, although, according to the song, she slowly went into the sea.

her small footprints will return no more. | |||
A path only from sorrow and silence | |||
Towards the deep water | |||
A path only from mute sorrow | |||
Towards the foam. | |||
God knows what anguish accompanied you | |||
What ancient pains silenced your voice | |||
To lull you to sleep in the song | |||
of the seashells | |||
The song sung in the dark bottom of the sea | |||
The seashell | |||
You are leaving, Alfonsina, with your loneliness | |||
What new poems did you go looking for? | |||
An ancient voice of wind and salt | |||
It's calling your soul and it's carrying it away | |||
And you go away as if in a dream | |||
Asleep, Alfonsina, dressed in the sea | |||
Five little mermaids will take you | |||
Along paths of seaweed and coral | |||
And phosphorescent sea horses will make | |||
A circle by your side | |||
And the water dwellers will play | |||
Beside you | |||
Turn down the lamp a little more | |||
Let me sleep in peace, nanny, | |||
And if he calls don't tell him I'm here | |||
Tell him Alfonsina's not coming back | |||
And if he calls don't ever tell him I'm there | |||
Say I'm gone | |||
You're leaving, Alfonsina with your loneliness | |||
What new poems did you go looking for? | |||
An ancient voice of wind and salt | |||
It's calling your soul and it's carrying it away | |||
And you go there as if in a dream | |||
