De La Ausencia Y De Ti Lyrics in English Silvio Rodriguez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song De La Ausencia Y De Ti by Silvio Rodriguez from Spanish to English.
Ahora sólo me queda buscarme de amante
Now I only have to find myself a lover
la respiración
the breathing
No mirar a los mapas, seguir en mí mismo
Don't look at the maps, stay in myself
no andar ciertas calles
don't walk certain streets
olvidar que fue mío una vez cierto libro
forget that a certain book was once mine
O hacer la canción
Or make the song
Y decirte que todo esta igual
And tell you that everything is the same
la ciudad, los amigos y el mar
the city, friends and the sea
esperando por ti
waiting for you
esperando por ti
waiting for you
Sigo yendo a Teté semana por semana
I keep going to Teté week by week
¿te acuerdas de allá?
do you remember there?
Hoy hablo de fusiles despidiendo muertos
Today I talk about rifles firing dead
Yo sé que ella me ama
I know she loves me
es por eso tal vez que te siento en su sala
That's maybe why she sits you in her living room
aunque ahora no estás
although you are not here now
Y se siente en la conversación
And she sits in the conversation
o será que tengo la impresión
or could it be that I have the impression
de la ausencia y de ti
of absence and you
de la ausencia y de ti
of absence and you
No quisiera un fracaso en el sabio delito
I would not want a failure in the wise crime
que es recordar
what is remembering
Ni en el inevitable defecto que es
Not even in the inevitable defect that is
la nostalgia de cosas pequeñas y tontas
nostalgia for small and silly things
como en el tumulto pisarte los pies
like in the tumult stepping on your feet
Y reír y reír y reír
And laugh and laugh and laugh
madrugadas sin ir a dormir
early mornings without going to sleep
sí, es distinto sin ti
yes, it's different without you
Muy distinto sin ti
Very different without you
Las ideas son balas hoy día y no puedo
Ideas are bullets nowadays and I can't
usar flores por ti
use flowers for you
Hoy quisiera ser viejo y muy sabio y poderte decir
Today I would like to be old and very wise and be able to tell you
lo que aquí no he podido decirte
what I have not been able to tell you here
hablar como un árbol
talk like a tree
con mi sombra hacia ti
with my shadow towards you
Como un libro salvado del mar
Like a book saved from the sea
como un muerto que aprende a besar
like a dead man who learns to kiss
para ti, para ti
for you, for you
para ti, para ti
for you, for you
