Sopla el primer viento why trae la pena,
The first wind blows and brings sorrow
Cabizbaja, aún somnolienta,
Head down, still sleepy,
Con el polvo haciendo lazo
With the dust making a bond
En su cabeza.
In her head.
Sopla el primer viento why trae la pena
The first wind blows and brings sorrow
De una ingrata primavera
Of an ungrateful spring
Que cambió su traje blanco
That she changed her white suit
Por el gris de la tormenta.
Through the gray of the storm.
Pena, pena que se va why regresa,
Pity, pity that it leaves and returns,
Como lleva why trae la arena
As it carries and brings the sand
Una ola que rabiosa roba huellas.
A wave that rabid steals footprints.
Pena, pena ajena,
Pity, another's pity,
Que me acecha
that stalks me
Como propia, como nueva,
Like own, like new,
Como una ave que, cansada de viajar,
Like a bird that, tired of traveling,
Al fin se queda.
At last it stays.
Pena, vuela pena
pity, fly pity
Adonde quieras,
Wherever you want,
Rómpete contra las piedras
break against the stones
O queda, quédate quieta.
Or stay, stay still.
Pena, vuela pena
pity, fly pity
Adonde quieras,
Wherever you want,
Pero lejos de la tierra
but far from the ground
Donde yace moribunda la inocencia
Where innocence lies dying
Pena, pena que mata, que quema,
Pain, pain that kills, that burns,
Pena inmensa que envenena,
Immense pain that poisons,
Que te empaña el horizonte
that blurs the horizon
Aunque ya, ya no haya niebla.
Although now, there is no fog.
Pena, pena enorme, pena eterna,
Pain, enormous pain, eternal pain,
Que endurece, que lacera,
that hardens, that lacerates,
Que convierte a la princesa
that turns the princess
En la más anciana reina.
In the oldest queen.
Pena, pena ajena
grief, grief of others
Que me acecha
that stalks me
Como propia, como nueva,
Like own, like new,
Como una ave que cansada de viajar
Like a bird that tired of traveling
Al fin se queda
finally stays
Pena , vuela pena
Pity, fly pity
Adonde quieras.
Wherever you want.
Rómpete contra las piedras
break against the stones
O queda, quédate quieta.
Or stay, stay still.
Pena, vuela pena
pity, fly pity
Adonde quieras,
Wherever you want,
Pero lejos de la tierra
but far from the ground
Donde acaban de enterrar a la inocencia
Where they just buried the innocence
