Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canción [De Qué Callada Manera] by Pablo Milanés from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
De que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo,
How quietly do you enter me smiling,
como si fuera la primavera... yo muriendo!
as if it were spring... me dying!
y de que modo sutil me derramo en la camisa
and in what subtle way I spill on the shirt
todas las flores de Abril.
all the flowers of April
y quien le dijo que yo era
and who told him that I was
risa siempre y nunca llanto?
always laugh and never cry?
como si fuera la primavera
as if it were spring
no soy tanto!
I'm not that much!
En cambio, que espiritual que usted me brinde una rosa
Instead, how spiritual that you give me a rose
de su rosal principal!
of its main rose bush!
De que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo,
How quietly do you enter me smiling,
como si fuera la primavera... yo muriendo!
as if it were spring... me dying!
quien le dijo que yo era

risa siempre y nunca llanto?
