Soneto A Mama Lyrics in English Joan Manuel Serrat
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soneto A Mama by Joan Manuel Serrat from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
No es que no vuelva porque me he olvidado
It's not that I don't come back because I've forgotten
De tu olor a tomillo y a cocina,
From your smell of thyme and cooking,
De lejos, dicen que se ve más claro,
By far, they say it looks clearer,
Que no es igual quien anda y quien camina.
That it is not the same who walks and who walks.
Y supe que el amor tiene ojos verdes,
And I knew that love has green eyes,
Que cuatro palos tiene la baraja,
That four suits has the deck,
Que nunca vuelve aquello que se pierde
That never returns what is lost
Y la marea sube y luego baja.
And the tide rises and then falls.
Supe que lo sencillo no es lo necio,
I knew that the simple is not the foolish,
Que no hay que confundir valor y precio
Do not confuse value and price
Y un manjar puede ser cualquier bocado.
And a delicacy can be any bite.
Si el horizonte es luz y el rumbo un beso,
If the horizon is light and the course a kiss,
No es que no vuelva porque te he olvidado,
It's not that I don't come back because I've forgotten you,
Es que perdí el camino de regreso, mamá
I lost my way back, Mom
