El Tempano Lyrics in English Juan Carlos Baglietto
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tempano by Juan Carlos Baglietto from Spanish to English.
EL TÉMPANO
THE ICEE
A veces cuando pienso que todo esta perdido
Sometimes when I think everything is lost
Voy hacia algunas formas de la muerte
I'm going towards some forms of death
Me pego un tiro con una palabra
I shoot myself with a word
Que alguna vez me fue tan transparente
That was once so transparent to me
La ternura del agua que corre
The tenderness of flowing water
Me recuerda la llegada de unos trenes
It reminds me of the arrival of some trains
Sales de los mares curvas de los puertos
Salts of the seas curves of the ports
Con mujeres descalzas en el verde
With barefoot women in the green
Voy hacia el fuego como la mariposa
I go towards the fire like the butterfly
Y no hay rima que rime con vivir
And there is no rhyme that rhymes with living
No te pares no te mates
Don't stop don't kill yourself
Solo es una forma más de demorarte
It's just one more way to delay you
En las tardes tranquilas cuando extraño todo
On quiet afternoons when I miss everything
Pienso que todo no es lo que perdí
I think that everything is not what I lost
Una rosa de feria aún a costa de perder
A fair rose even at the cost of losing
Se pierde pero se gana
You lose but you win
La lucha es de igual a igual contra uno mismo
The fight is equal against oneself
Y eso es ganarla
And that is winning it
No te pares, no te mates
Don't stop, don't kill yourself
Sólo es una forma de más de demorarse
It's just one more way to delay
Recuerdo la quietud de la tierra
I remember the stillness of the earth
La quietud de estar adentro
The stillness of being inside
Se cree más en los milagros
They believe more in miracles
A la hora del entierro
At the time of the funeral
Éste hombre trabajo
This man works
Quién escribirá su historia
Who will write your story
La cal reseca la viuda que sueña
The lime dries up the widow who dreams
Los amigos que siguen igual
Friends who stay the same
La gloria en zapatillas
Glory in sneakers
El florero vacío
The empty vase
Quién sabe si se puso a pensar
Who knows if he started to think
Para qué vivo
What do I live for?
Vivo para no perder
I live not to lose
