"Si la mer était faite de lait, et les bateaux étaient des bâtons de cannelle, j'y pêcherai toutes mes douleurs avec des petits mots d'amour...»
J'ai écrit cette chanson en puisant dans différents poèmes et chansons séfarades traditionnels. J'aime comme ces textes contiennent des doubles lectures et comme les mots simples peuvent porter en eux une universalité... "If the sea was made of milk, and ships of cinnamon, I'd fish there all my sorrows with little love notes..." »
I took inspiration for this song in various traditional Sephardic poems. I love how these texts hold double meanings and how simple worlds can carry everything that's universal...

En la mar hay una torre
En la torre una ventana
En la ventana hay una hija
Que a los marineros ama.

Las estrellas del cielo,
Una y una s'hazen dos.
No tenex tanta firmeza
como tenemos los dos.

chorus
Dame tu mano palomba
Para suvir a tu nido
Maldicha que durmes sola
vengo a durmir contigo

Si la mar era de leche
Los barquitos de canela
Pexcaria las mis dolores
Con palavricas de amor
