Tu Fantasma Lyrics in English Silvio Rodriguez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Fantasma by Silvio Rodriguez from Spanish to English.
Me decido a tararearte
I decide to hum to you
Todo lo que se te extraña
Everything that is missed about you
Desde el siglo en que partiste
Since the century you left
Hasta el largo día de hoy
Until this long day
Me acompaño de guitarra
I accompany myself with a guitar
Porque yo no se de cartas
Because I don't know about cards
Y además ya tú conoces
And besides, you already know
Que ella va donde yo voy
That she goes where I go
Lo único que me consuela
The only thing that consoles me
Es que uso dos almohadas
Is that I use two pillows
Y que ya no me torturo
And that I no longer torture myself
Cuando te hago trasnochar
When I keep you up all night
Otro alivio es que en su árbol
Another relief is that in its tree
Los pajaritos del alba
The little birds of dawn
Siguen ensayando el coro
Continue rehearsing the chorus
Con que te bienvenirán
With which they will welcome you
El teléfono persiste
The phone persists
En coleccionar absurdos
In collecting absurdities
Embromarme sigue siendo
Teasing me continues to be
Un deporte universal
A universal sport
Y la puerta está comida
And the door is worn out
Donde la ha golpeado el mundo
Where the world has struck it
Cuando menos una buena parte
At least a good part
De la humanidad
Of humanity
El cine de enamorados
The lovers' cinema
Tuvo un par de buenas pistas
Had a couple of good clues
Nuestro cabaret privado
Our private cabaret
Sigue activo por su bar
Is still active at its bar
Se nos sigue desangrando
The key to the kitchen
La llave de la cocina
Continues to bleed out on us
Y yo sigo sin canciones
And I still have no songs
Habiendo necesidad
Despite the need
Pueden ser casualidades
They could be coincidences
U otras rarezas que pasan
Or other odd things that happen
Pero donde quiera que ando
But wherever I go
Todo me conduce a ti
Everything leads me to you
Especialmente la cas
Especially the house
Me resulta insoportable
It becomes unbearable to me
Cuando desde sus rincones
When from its corners
Te abalanzas sobre mí
You pounce on me
No exagero si te cuento
I'm not exaggerating if I tell you
Que le hablo a tu fantasma
That I talk to your ghost
Que le solicito agua
That I ask it for water
Y hasta el buche de café
And even a sip of coffee
En días graves le he pedido
On tough days I've asked it
Masajes para mi espalda
For back massages
Los peores ni te cuento
The worst, I won't tell you
Porque no vas a creer
Because you won't believe it
Hay días que en tu sacrificio
There are days when in your sacrifice
Acaricio tu fantasma
I caress your ghost
Pero donde iba el delirio
But where delirium was
No oigo tu respiración
I don't hear your breathing
Siempre termino en lo mismo
I always end up the same
Asesino tu fantasma
Killing your ghost
Y la diana me sorprende
And the target surprises me
Recostado en el balcón
Lying on the balcony
Ya no sé si lo que digo
I don't know if what I say
Realmente nos hace falta
Is really what we need
Hoy no es día inteligente
Today is not an intelligent day
Y no sé ir más allá
And I don't know how to go further
Pero cuando puedas, vuelve
But when you can, come back
Porque acecha tu fantasma
Because your ghost is lurking
Jugando a las escondidas
Playing hide and seek
Y yo estoy muy viejo ya
And I am very old now
Pero cuando puedas, vuelve
But when you can, come back
Porque acecha tu fantasma
Because your ghost is lurking
Jugando a las escondidas
Playing hide and seek
Y yo estoy muy viejo ya
And I am very old now
