Penélope
Penelope
Con su bolso de piel marrón
With her brown leather bag
Y sus zapatos de tacón
And her high-heeled shoes
Y su vestido de domingo
And her Sunday dress
Penélope
Penelope
Se sienta en un banco en el andén
Sits on a bench on the platform
Y espera que llegue el primer tren
And wait for the first train to arrive.
Meneando el abanico
Shaking the fan
Dicen en el pueblo
They say in the village
Que un caminante paró
That a walker stopped
Su reloj
Your watch
Una tarde de primavera
A spring afternoon
'Adiós amor mío
'Goodbye my love
No me llores, volveré
Don't cry to me, I'll be back
Antes que
Before
De los sauces caigan las hojas
From the willows fall the leaves
Piensa en mí
Think of me
Volveré a por ti'
I'll come back for you.'
Pobre infeliz
Poor unhappy
Se paró tu reloj infantil
Your child's watch stopped
Una tarde plomiza de abril
A leaden April afternoon
Cuando se fue tu amante
When Your Lover Left
Se marchitó
Withered
En tu huerto hasta la última flor
In your garden until the last flower
No hay un sauce en la calle Mayor
There is not a willow tree on Calle Mayor
Para Penélope
For Penelope
Penélope
Penelope
Tristes a fuerza de esperar
Sad by dint of waiting
Sus ojos, parecen brillar
His eyes seem to shine
Si un tren silba a lo lejos
If a train whistles in the distance
Penélope
Penelope
Uno tras otro los ve pasar
One after another sees them pass by.
Mira sus caras, les oye hablar
Look at their faces, hear them talk
Para ella son muñecos
For her they are dolls
Dicen en el pueblo
They say in the village
Que el caminante volvió
That the walker came back
La encontró
He found it.
En su banco de pino verde
On your green pine bank
La llamó: 'Penélope
He called her, 'Penelope'.
Mi amante fiel, mi paz
My faithful lover, my peace
Deja ya
Leave now
De tejer sueños en tu mente
Of weaving dreams in your mind
Mírame
Look
Soy tu amor, regresé'
I'm your love, I'm back.'
Le sonrió
He smiled at her.
Con los ojos llenitos de ayer
With the full eyes of yesterday
No era así su cara ni su piel
His face and skin weren't like that.
'Tú no eres quien yo espero'
'You are not who I expect'
Y se quedó
And he stayed
Con el bolso de piel marrón
With brown leather bag
Y sus zapatitos de tacón
And her high-heeled shoes
Sentada en la estación
Sitting at the station
Penélope
Penelope
