Spanish leather boots

[US] Bob Dylan

Translated by Allen

Oh, my dear, I'll set sail
And set sail in the morning
What would you like me to send you from across the sea?
From the place where I shall arrive

You don't have to send me anything, my dear
I don't want anything
Just that you come back to me safe and sound
Across the lonely, deserted ocean

Oh, I thought you might want some treasures
Made of silver or pure gold
Perhaps a treasure in the hills of Madrid
Or a treasure chest on the shores of Barcelona

Well, even if I had the brightest diamond in the deep
The brightest star in the night sky
I'd give it up for your return home
That's my only dream

This time I may be parting from the world and the sea
I just want to ask
What can I send you to remind you of me
To make you feel like you have someone with you on lonely days

Oh, why, why do you ask me that?
It only adds to my sorrow
Because what I want today
Won't change tomorrow will be the same

One lonely day I received a piece of paper
It was from the ship she was on
She said she didn't know when she would return
All will follow the waves of the sea

Well, my dear, if you really think so
You must have a heart of your own
And I know your heart is no longer with me
It's in a foreign land you're going to

So watch out, watch out for the west wind like a wolf
Watch out for the rain like a gun
Oh yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots made of Spanish leather
