Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Causas Y Azares by Silvio Rodriguez from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Salió a su ventana
He went out his window
No sabía, mi amor,
I did not know, my love,
De esa clara mañana
of that clear morning
Era luz de su último día
It was light of his last day
Y las causas
and the causes
Lo fueron cercando
they were surrounding him
Cotidianas, invisibles
everyday, invisible
Se le iba enredando
He was getting entangled
Poderoso, invencible
powerful, invincible
Regresaba a su lecho
He returned to his bed
No sabía, oh alma querida
I didn't know, oh dear soul
Que en la noche
that in the night
Lluviosa y sin techo
rainy and homeless
Lo esperaba
he expected it
El amor de su vida
The love of his life
Y las causas
and the causes
Lo fueron cercando
they were surrounding him
Cotidianas, invisibles
everyday, invisible
Se le iba enredando
He was getting entangled
Poderoso, invencible
powerful, invincible
Este verso que canto
This verse that I sing
Yo no sé, yo no sé,
I don't know, I don't know
Si me espera uno
if one awaits me
A paz o el espanto;
To peace or fear;
Si el ahora o si el todavía
If the now or if the still
Pues las causas
Well, the causes
Me andan cercando
they are surrounding me
Cotidianas, invisibles
everyday, invisible
Se me viene enredando
It's getting tangled up
Poderoso, invencible
powerful, invincible
