Posesión Por Alegrías Lyrics in English Niño de Elche
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Posesión Por Alegrías by Niño de Elche from Spanish to English.
Este bálsamo no cura cicatrices
This balm doesn't heal scars
Esta rumbita no sabe enamorar
This little rumba doesn't know how to fall in love
Este rosario de cuentas infelices
This rosary of unhappy beads
Calla más de lo que dice
Silences more than it says
Pero dice la verdad
But it tells the truth
Este almacén de sábanas que no arden
This warehouse of non-burning sheets
Este teléfono sin contestador
This phone without an answering machine
La llamaré mañana, hoy se me hizo tarde
I'll call her tomorrow, today I ran out of time
Esta forma tan cobarde
This cowardly way
De no decirnos que no
Of not telling each other no
Este contigo, este sin ti tan amargo
This with you, this without you so bitter
Este reloj de arena del arenal
This hourglass of the sandy beach
Esta huelga de besos, este letargo
This strike of kisses, this lethargy
Estos pantalones largos
These long pants
Para el viejo Peter Pan
For old Peter Pan
No abuses de mi inspiración, no acuses a mi corazón
Don't abuse my inspiration, don't accuse my heart
Tan maltrecho y ajado que está cerrado por derribo
So battered and worn out that it's closed for demolition
Por las arrugas de mi voz se filtra la desolación
Through the wrinkles of my voice, desolation seeps
De saber que estos son los últimos versos que te escribo
Knowing that these are the last verses I write to you
Para decir 'con Dios' a los dos nos sobran los motivos
To say 'goodbye' we have more than enough reasons
Esta paya tan lejos de su gitano
This paya so far from her gypsy
Este penal del Puerto sin vis-a-vis
This prison in Puerto without vis-a-vis
Esta guerra civil, este mano a mano
This civil war, this one-on-one
Estos moros y cristianos
These Moors and Christians
Este muro de Berlín
This Berlin Wall
Este virus que no muere ni nos mata
This virus that doesn't die or kill us
Esta amnesia en el cielo del paladar
This amnesia in the sky of the palate
La limusina del polvo por Manhattan
The limousine of dust through Manhattan
El invierno en Mar del Plata
Winter in Mar del Plata
Los versos del Capitán
The verses of the Captain
No abuses de mi inspiración, no acuses a mi corazón
Don't abuse my inspiration, don't accuse my heart
Tan maltrecho y ajado que está cerrado por derribo
So battered and worn out that it's closed for demolition
Por las arrugas de mi voz se filtra la desolación
Through the wrinkles of my voice, desolation seeps
De saber que estos son los últimos versos que te escribo
Knowing that these are the last verses I write to you
Para decir 'con Dios' a los dos nos sobran los motivos
To say 'goodbye' we have more than enough reasons
