lyrics

El Poeta

Muy temprano te levantaste
Y me dejaste
Envuelta en sueños plomizos

Escribiste un mensaje en la pared
Marcado con tiza
De color rosado

Te hablé-e-e-e-e
Y me miraste de lejos
Distante
Dos metros
Diez años
Cien besos
La noche pasada deshecha
En el aire pesado

Y te quedaste callado

Es que no me oíste, o
Es que no te hablé
Escribiendo versos ilegibles en la pared
En la pared

Es que no me oíste, o
Es que no te hablé
Escribiendo versos ilegibles en la pared
En la pared

Hace dos años desde que te fuiste
El libro que escribiste
Permanece cerrado


SPANISH - ENGLISH TRANSLATION

El Poeta / The Poet

Very early you arose
And you left me
Wrapped in leaden dreams

You wrote a message on the wall
Markings of chalk
The color pink

I called to you
And you looked at me from afar
Distant,
Two meters
Ten years,
A hundred kisses
Last night undone
In the heavy air

And you remained silent

Is it that you did not hear me
Or is it that I did not call
Writing illegible verses
On the bedroom wall
On the wall

Is it that you did not hear me
Or is it that I did not call
Writing illegible verses
On the bedroom wall
On the wall

It’s been two years since you’ve gone
The book that you wrote
Remains closed
