My Grandfather's Clock Lyrics in Spanish by Johnny Cash
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song My Grandfather's Clock by Johnny Cash from English to Spanish.
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
El reloj de mi abuelo era demasiado grande para el estante
So it stood ninety years on the floor
Así permaneció noventa años en el suelo
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Era la mitad más alto que el propio anciano
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
Aunque no pesaba ni un centavo más
It was bought on the morn' of the day that he was born
Fue comprado la mañana del día en que nació
And was always his treasure and pride
Y siempre fue su tesoro y orgullo
But it stopped, short never to go again
Pero se detuvo, brevemente para no volver a ir nunca más
When the old man died
Cuando el viejo murió
Ninety years without slumbering
Noventa años sin dormir
His life seconds numbering
Los segundos de su vida contando
It stopped, short never to go again
Se detuvo, brevemente para no volver a ir nunca más
When the old man died
Cuando el viejo murió
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
Mi abuelo decía que de los que podía contratar
Not a servant so faithful he found
No encontró un siervo tan fiel
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
Porque no perdió el tiempo y sólo tenía un deseo
At the close of each week to be wound
Al final de cada semana se dará cuerda
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
Y se mantuvo en su lugar, sin fruncir el ceño
And its hands never hung by its side
Y sus manos nunca colgaron a su lado
But it stopped short, never to go again
Pero se detuvo en seco, para no volver a ir nunca más
When the old man died
Cuando el viejo murió
It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night
Sonó y alarmó en la oscuridad de la noche
An alarm that for years had been dumb
Una alarma que durante años había sido tonta
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
Y sabíamos que su espíritu se lanzaba a volar
That his hour for departure had come
Que había llegado su hora de partir
Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
Aún así, el reloj marcaba la hora con un timbre suave y apagado
As we silently stood by his side
Mientras estábamos en silencio a su lado
But it stopped short, never to go again
Pero se detuvo en seco, para no volver a ir nunca más
When the old man died
Cuando el viejo murió
Ninety years without slumbering
Noventa años sin dormir
His life seconds numbering
Los segundos de su vida contando
It stopped short, never to go again
Se detuvo en seco, para no volver a ir nunca más
When the old man died
Cuando el viejo murió
