Dormite Patria Lyrics in English Juan Carlos Baglietto
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dormite Patria by Juan Carlos Baglietto from Spanish to English.
DORMITE PATRIA
SLEEP COUNTRY
Dormite patria sobre mi camisa
Homeland sleeps on my shirt
olvidate pronto de los que te pisan
forget soon those who step on you
dormite patria que la noche es fría
sleep homeland the night is cold
y hay un viento blanco sobre la avenida
and there is a white wind on the avenue
Quiero llevarte como cuando era otro
I want to take you like when I was someone else
y te lucía flamante sobre el guardapolvo
and you looked brand new on the duster
todavía no había crecido
I hadn't grown up yet
y estabas prendida a mi solapa blanca
and you were attached to my white lapel
como un papelito
like a piece of paper
Dormite patria que los corazones
Homeland sleeps than hearts
te harán de almohada para los pulmones
they will make you a pillow for your lungs
Dormite patria que suena la radio
Homeland sleeps while the radio plays
y alguien que te nombre lo dice cantando
and someone who names you says it singing
Quiero llevarte porque siempre es invierno
I want to take you because it's always winter
y no tenes un techo y están los lobos sueltos
and you don't have a roof and the wolves are loose
Malena, Carlitos Gardel y los caudillos
Malena, Carlitos Gardel and the leaders
las madres de los pañuelos
the mothers of the handkerchiefs
y los hijos de mis hijos
and my children's children
El que vende flores
The one who sells flowers
yo que canto esas canciones
I sing those songs
esas chicas de las tiendas
those girls in the stores
los que arreglan los motores
those who fix the engines
te vamos a hacer una ronda
we are going to give you a round
que abarque todo el mapa
that covers the entire map
y entre provincia y provincia
and between province and province
no habrá límites ni nada
there will be no limits or anything
Dormite patria como mi enamorada
Homeland sleeps like my lover
llevo tu corpiño atado en mi lanza
I carry your bodice tied on my spear
el último aliento la canción que me queda
the last breath the song that remains
es que seas distinta a la que vi en la escuela
is that you are different from the one I saw at school
Quiero llevarte como cuando era otro
I want to take you like when I was someone else
y te lucía flamante sobre el guardapolvo
and you looked brand new on the duster
todavía no había crecido
I hadn't grown up yet
y estabas prendida a mi solapa blanca
and you were attached to my white lapel
como un papelito
like a piece of paper
Dormite patria
Homeland sleeps
que en la cuadra aquí cerca
that on the block here nearby
suena ya la murga para que te duerma
the murga is already playing to make you fall asleep
Dormite patria pero dormí conmigo
Homeland sleeps but it slept with me
para que la muerte se lleve al domingo
so that death takes to Sunday
