El Silencio - Lila Downs

Son los tiempos de silencio

Porque hay toque de queda

Noche de coyotes y luna

Dos pulques y una promesa

El sol quemaba el pensamiento

Fui sola, camino la banqueta

En la esquina había un anuncio pegado

Con rondines vigilando cada puerta

Y no llegaste tú

Se perdieron tus pasos

Por el lejano ruido de la ciudad

Y no llegaste tú

Solo había a las doce del día

Fantasmas

Se oyó un altavoz, una ranchera

En mi mente me encontré con tu mirar

Escuchando la radio supe que escuchabas

Y pensando también en el final

A la distancia un perro siempre ladra

No pensé que sentiría calma

Que lo vivo me recuerda lo que es grande

El milagro es despertar

Y no llegaste tú

Se perdieron tus pasos

Por el lejano ruido de la ciudad

Y no llegaste tú

Solo había a las doce del día

Fantasmas

En la piedra de mi cama veo un hilo

Las hormigas que construyen en secreto

Bajo el lecho de mis sueños sus cavernas

Y un motor que parece respirar

Y no llegaste tú

Se perdieron tus pasos

Por el lejano ruido de la ciudad

Y no llegaste tú

Solo había a las doce del día

Fantasmas

are the times of silence

Because there is a curfew

Night of coyotes and moon

Two pulques and a promise

The sun burned the thought

I went alone, I walked the sidewalk

In the corner there was an ad stuck

With patrols watching every door

And you didn't come

your steps were lost

For the distant noise of the city

And you didn't come

There was only at twelve o'clock

ghosts

A loudspeaker was heard, a station wagon

In my mind I met your look

Listening to the radio I knew you were listening

And also thinking about the end

In the distance a dog always barks

I didn't think I'd feel calm

That I live it reminds me of what is great

The miracle is to wake up

And you didn't come

your steps were lost

For the distant noise of the city

And you didn't come

There was only at twelve o'clock

ghosts

In the stone of my bed I see a thread

The ants that build in secret

Under the bed of my dreams its caverns

And an engine that seems to breathe

And you didn't come

your steps were lost

For the distant noise of the city

And you didn't come

There was only at twelve o'clock

ghosts
