La Pajita ( Gabriela Mistral ) - Inti Illimani Historico Übersetzung ins Englische

La Pajita ( Gabriela Mistral )

Esta que era una niña de cera
Pero no era una niña de cera
Era una gavilla parada en la era

Pero no era una gavilla
Sino la flor tiesa de la maravilla
Tampoco era la flor, sino que era
Un rayito de sol parado en la vidriera
No era un rayito de sol siquiera
Una pajita dentro de mis ojos era

Alléguense a mirar como he perdido entera
En este lagrimón, mi fiesta verdadera

The Straw (Gabriela Mistral)

It was a wax doll, I thought,
But it wasn't a wax doll, my love,
It was a sheaf standing in the threshing floor

But it wasn't a sheaf at all,
But the stiff flower of the marvel of marvels
Nor was it the flower, but rather,
A sunbeam standing on the window pane
It wasn't even a sunbeam, dear,
It was a straw inside my eyes, it's clear

Come closer, look how I've lost entirely,
In this single tear, my true festivity
