Hoy viene a ser como la
Today is going to be like the
Cuarta vez que espero
fourth time i wait
Desde que se que no vendrás mas nunca
Since I know that you will never come again
He vuelto a ser aquel cantor del aguacero
I have been that singer of the downpour again
Que hizo casi legal su abrazo a tu cintura
That he made his hug around your waist almost legal
Y tu apareces, en mi ventana
And you appear, in my window
Suave y pequeña, con alas blancas
soft and small, with white wings
Yo ni te miro, para que duermas
I don't even look at you, so you can sleep
Y no te vayas
and don't go
Que maneras mas curiosas
What curious ways
De recordar tiene uno
to remember has one
Que maneras mas curiosas
What curious ways
Hoy recuerdo mariposas
Today I remember butterflies
Que ayer solo fueron humo
that yesterday were only smoke
Mariposas, mariposas
Butterflies, butterflies
Que emergieron de lo oscuro
that emerged from the dark
Bailarinas, silenciosas
dancers, silent
Tu tiempo es ahora una mariposa
Your time is now a butterfly
Navecita blanca, delgada, nerviosa
Little white, thin, nervous ship
Siglos atrás inundaron un segundo
Centuries ago they flooded a second
Debajo del cielo, encima del mundo
Under the sky, above the world
Así eras tu en aquella tarde, divertida
That's how you were that afternoon, funny
Así eras tu de furibunda compañera
That's how you were a furious companion
Eras como esos días en que eres la vida
You were like those days when you are life
Y todo lo que tocas se hace primavera
And everything you touch becomes spring
Ay mariposa!, tu eres el alma
Oh butterfly!, you are the soul
De los guerreros que aman y cantan
Of the warriors who love and sing
Y eres el nuevo ser, que hoy se asoma
And you are the new being that appears today
Por mi garganta
down my throat
Que maneras mas curiosas
What curious ways
De recordar tiene uno
to remember has one
Que maneras mas curiosas
What curious ways
Hoy recuerdo mariposas
Today I remember butterflies
Que ayer solo fueron humo
that yesterday were only smoke
Mariposas, mariposas
Butterflies, butterflies
Que emergieron de lo oscuro
that emerged from the dark
Bailarinas, silenciosas
dancers, silent
Tu tiempo es ahora una mariposa
Your time is now a butterfly
Navecita blanca, delgada, nerviosa
Little white, thin, nervous ship
Siglos atrás inundaron un segundo
Centuries ago they flooded a second
Debajo del cielo, encima del mundo
Under the sky, above the world
