Sonrisas bajo el brazo
Smiles under your arm
Y pena en el corazón
And sorrow in the heart
Cerillas y tabaco se venden en un rincón
Matches and tobacco are sold in a corner
Cerillas y tabaco se venden en un rincón
Matches and tobacco are sold in a corner
La oigo cantar, 'Cerillas y papel'
I hear her sing, 'Matches and paper'
Y toma sorbo a sorbo su café
And take sip by sip your coffee
Y mira sin hablar y piensa sin saber
And he looks without speaking and thinks without knowing
¿Por qué llegó a este mundo y para qué?
Why did he come into this world and for what?
Y su pregunta
And your question
Voló de mesa en mesa sin respuesta
He flew from table to table with no answer
Quedándose dormida tras la puerta
Falling asleep behind the door
Por si alguien quiere un día contestar
In case someone wants to answer one day
Y yo la miro
And I look at it
Y quiero recordarla tal como era
And I want to remember her as she was.
Yo quiero hablar de aquella tabaquera
I want to talk about that tobacco company
Que un día en la taberna me miró
That one day in the tavern he looked at me
De joven tuvo amores
As a young man he had loves
Con un apuesto señor
With a handsome gentleman
Pero voló tan alto que un día ya no volvió
But he flew so high that one day he didn't come back.
Pero voló tan alto que un día ya no volvió
But he flew so high that one day he didn't come back.
Y le dejó cerillas y papel
And he left him matches and paper.
Y todo un testamento por hacer
And a whole will to be made
Riquezas por ganar, y sedas por tejer
Riches to be gained, and silks to be woven
Y un bello rinconcito en un café
And a beautiful corner in a café
Y una pregunta
And a question
Que va de mesa en mesa sin respuesta
That goes from table to table without response
Y que quedó dormida tras la puerta
And that she fell asleep behind the door
Por si alguien quiere un día contestar
In case someone wants to answer one day
Y yo la miro
And I look at it
Y quiero recordarla tal como era
And I want to remember her as she was.
Yo quiero hablar de aquella tabaquera
I want to talk about that tobacco company
Que un día en la taberna
That a day in the tavern
Me miró
He looked at me
