Original text with translation
Silvio Rodríguez
Hoy viene a m la damisela soledad
con pamela, impertinentes y botn
de amapola en el oleaje de sus vuelos.
Hoy la voluble seorita es amistad
y acaricia finalmente el corazn
con su ms delgado ptalo de hielo.
Por eso hoy,
gentilmente te convido a pasear
por el patio, hasta el florido pabelln
de aquel rbol que plantaron los abuelos.
Hoy el ensueo es como el musgo en el brocal,
dibujando los abismos de un amor
melanclico, sutil, plido cielo.
Viene a m, avanza,
-viene tan despacio-,
viene en una danza
leve del espacio.
Cedo, me hago lacio
y ya vuelo, ave.
Se mece la nave
lenta, como el tul
en la brisa suave,
nia del azul.
Oh melancola, novia silenciosa,
ntima pareja del ayer;
Oh melancola, amante dichosa,
siempre me arrebata tu placer;
Oh melancola, seora del tiempo,
beso que retorna como el mar;
Oh melancola, rosa del aliento,
dime quin me puede amar.
Hoy viene a m la damisela soledad
con pamela, impertinentes y botn
de amapola en el oleaje de sus vuelos.
Hoy la voluble seorita es amistad
y acaricia finalmente el corazn
con su ms delgado ptalo de hielo.
Por eso hoy,
Oh melancola, seora del tiempo,
beso que retorna como el mar;
Oh melancola, rosa del aliento,
dime quin me puede amar.
Today the lonely damsel comes to me
with pamela, lorgnettes and botn
of poppy in the waves of her flights.
Today the fickle young lady is friendship
and finally caresses the heart
with its thinnest ice petal.
That's why today
I kindly invite you to walk
through the courtyard, to the flowery pavilion
of that tree that the grandparents planted.
Today the daydream is like the moss on the curb,
drawing the abysses of a love
melancholic, subtle, pale sky.
Come to me, advance,
-comes so slowly-
comes in a dance
slight of space.
I give in, I go straight
and I'm already flying, bird.
the ship rocks
slow, like tulle
in the soft breeze,
blue girl
Oh melancholy, silent bride,
intimate partner of yesterday;
O melancholy, happy lover,
always takes your pleasure away from me;
Oh melancholy, lady of time,
kiss that returns like the sea;
Oh melancholy, rose of breath,
tell me who she can love me.
Today the lonely damsel comes to me
with pamela, lorgnettes and botn
of poppy in the waves of her flights.
Today the fickle young lady is friendship
and finally caresses the heart
with its thinnest ice petal.
That's why today
Oh melancholy, lady of time,
kiss that returns like the sea;
Oh melancholy, rose of breath,
tell me who can love me
