Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canción De Invierno by Silvio Rodriguez from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Es día de frío
it's cold day
Y llegas a casa.
And you come home.
Llegas de la tarde
you arrive in the afternoon
Cansada de un jueves.
Tired of a Thursday.
Los muebles, tu perro
The furniture, your dog
Y millones de ojos
and millions of eyes
Están, como siempre,
They are, as always,
Esperando tu vuelta,
waiting for your return
En la que presientes
in which you feel
Que nada ha cambiado
that nothing has changed
Te espera lo mismo,
The same awaits you
El sueño pasado.
The past dream
Recoges tu pelo
you pick up your hair
Tan libre en la tarde
so free in the afternoon
Quizás porque alguien
maybe because someone
Nunca lo vio preso.
He never saw him in jail.
Te sientas y cenas
you sit and dine
Y todas las culpas
and all the blame
Te dan con un peso
they give you with a weight
Mayor que tus fuerzas
Greater than your strength
Y pon altos ojos
And roll your eyes
Y esta tarde loca
and this crazy afternoon
Hasta que eres débil
until you're weak
Y tapas tu boca.
And you cover your mouth.
Cuando todo pasa
when everything happens
Te crees segura
you think safe
Mientras con tus horas
while with your hours
Revuelves cenizas
you stir ashes
Presientes muy dentro
you feel deep inside
Pasiones prohibidas
forbidden passions
No importa mentirse
It doesn't matter to lie
Para ser felices
To be happy
Hasta que un deseo
until a wish
Se meta en tu lecho
get into your bed
Mas, qué estás pensando?
But what are you thinking?
Te tapas el pecho.
You cover your chest.
Pero necesitas
but you need
Quedar bien con todo
look good with everything
Todo que no sea
everything that is not
Bien contigo misma.
Good with yourself.
La angustia es el precio
heartbreak is the price
De ser uno mismo.
Of being yourself.
Mejor ser felices
better be happy
Como nuestros padres
like our parents
Y hacer de la lástima
And make pity
Amores eternos
eternal loves
Hasta que, a la larga,
Until eventually
Te tape el invierno.
Winter covers you
