Lyrics and translation Illapu - Paloma Ausente (Vivo)

Paloma Ausente (Vivo)

Cinco noches que lloro por los caminos
Cinco cartas escritas se llevó el viento
Cinco pañuelos negros son los testigos
De los cinco dolores que llevo dentro
Paloma ausente

Paso lunas enteras mirando el cielo,
Con un solo deseo en el pensamiento:
Que no descienda herida mi palomita,
La que viene fundida a los elementos
Paloma ausente

Dice un papel escrito con tinta verde,
Que teniendo paciencia todo se alcanza
Una que bien la tuvo salió bailando
De su jardín al arco de las alianzas
Paloma ausente

Una jaula del aire viene bajando
Con todos sus barrotes de carabinas
Todos los pajarillos vienen trinando
Sin embargo distingo mi golondrina
Paloma ausente
Paloma ausente
Paloma ausente

Absent Dove (Live)

For five nights I've cried along the paths
Five letters written the wind carried away
Five black handkerchiefs are the witnesses
Of the five sorrows I carry within
Absent dove

I spend entire moons looking at the sky,
With a single wish in my mind:
That my little dove doesn't descend injured,
The one that comes melted into the elements
Absent dove

A piece of paper written in green ink says,
That with patience everything can be achieved
One who had it well went dancing
From her garden to the arch of alliances
Absent dove

A cage of air is coming down
With all its bars made of rifles
All the little birds come chirping
However, I distinguish my swallow
Absent dove
Absent dove
Absent dove
