Lyrics and translation Luis Alberto Spinetta - Alfil, Ella No Cambia Nada

Alfil, Ella No Cambia Nada

La reina negra está ante su propio silencio
Los peones desvanecidos rondan como espectros
Pasaportes hasta un mundo oscuro
Negociados en las torres

Tristeza del ajedrez
Tristeza de las planicies
Las ciudades cuadriculadas escondiendo sus raíces
Es domingo y está todo en calma
Y de golpe ella llora

Alfil, ella no cambia nada
Alfil, ella no cambia nada
Así, oh, su cabeza rueda en el aire
Alfil, oh, na-ra-na-ra

Pasaportes hasta un mundo oscuro
Negociados en las torres

Alfil, ella no cambia nada
Alfil, ah-ah, ella no cambia nada
Así, oh-uh-uh, su cabeza rueda en el aire
Alfil, ella no cambia nada, oh

Algo me dice sale el sol, sale el sol
Algo me dice sale el sol, sale el sol, por fin, eh

Ruina de todas las guerras
Ruinas de corceles muertos
Es domingo y está todo en calma
Y de golpe ella llora

Alfil, ella no cambia nada
Alfil, eh, ella no cambia nada
Así, oh-uh-uh, desde que cruce el alba
Alfil-fil-fil-fil, o-uh-ouh-oh
Alfil, eh, ella no cambia nada
No, no, no, no, no

Bishop, She Doesn't Change Anything

The black queen is before her own silence
The faded pawns hover like ghosts
Passports to a dark world
Negotiations in the towers

Sadness of chess
Sadness of the plains
Squared cities hiding their roots
It's Sunday and everything is calm
And suddenly she cries

Bishop, she doesn't change anything
Bishop, she doesn't change anything
Thus, oh, her head rolls in the air
Bishop, oh, na-ra-na-ra

Passports to a dark world
Negotiations in the towers

Bishop, she doesn't change anything
Bishop, ah-ah, she doesn't change anything
Thus, oh-uh-uh, her head rolls in the air
Bishop, she doesn't change anything, oh

Something tells me the sun is coming out, the sun is coming out
Something tells me the sun is coming out, the sun is coming out, finally, eh

Ruin of all wars
Ruins of dead steeds
It's Sunday and everything is calm
And suddenly she cries

Bishop, she doesn't change anything
Bishop, eh, she doesn't change anything
Thus, oh-uh-uh, since the dawn broke
Bishop-fil-fil-fil, o-uh-ouh-oh
Bishop, eh, she doesn't change anything
No, no, no, no, no
