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
Asleep, Alfonsina, dressed in the sea<ref name="EnglishTranslation"/>
