Below, I translated the lyrics of the song De Que Callada Manera by Pablo Milanés from Spanish to English.
De que callada manera se me adentra usted sonriendo
In what quiet way do you approach me smiling?
como si fuera la primavera yo muriendo!
As if it were spring I was dying!
y de que modo sutil me derramo en la camisa
and in what subtle way I spill on my 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
In what quiet way do you approach me smiling?
como si fuera la primavera yo muriendo!
As if it were spring I was dying!
quien le dijo que yo era
who told him 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
In what quiet way do you approach me smiling?
como si fuera la primavera yo muriendo!
As if it were spring I was dying!
