Lyrics and translation Amancio Prada - Las Moras Negras




Las Moras Negras
Blackberries
Creí que buscaba
I thought I was looking for
Las moras negras,
Blackberries,
Y encontré la rosa de zarza.
And I found the bramble rose.
Creí que cogía
I thought I picked up
La rosa blanca,
The white rose,
Y se hincó la espina en mis venas.
And the thorn sank into my veins.
Creí que saldría
I thought I would go out
Clavel caliente,
A hot carnation,
Y brotó un arroyo de leche.
And a stream of milk sprang out.
Creí que el arroyo
I thought that the stream
Se hundía en tierra,
Sank into the ground,
Y fluyó al Océano verde.
And it flowed into the green Ocean.
Creí que era aquello
I thought that was
El verde Océano,
The green Ocean,
Y era el río eterno de estrellas
And it was the eternal river of stars
Creí que hallaría,
I thought I would find,
Cruzando el cielo,
Crossing the sky,
Al Señor del todo y la nada.
The Lord of everything and nothing.
Y sólo encontré
And I only found
Puñado de moras
A handful of blackberries
Que de amor en mi mano sangraban.
That were bleeding from love in my hand.
