Paroles et traduction Alberto Cortez - La Víeja de la Plaza

La Víeja de la Plaza

Quiso tener un hijo
Para llamarlo Luna
Y por querer, lo quiso
Más que ninguna.
Que todas las estrellas
De las alturas,
Fueran madre con ella,
Una por una.

Quiso tener un hijo
Para estrenarlo a tiempo,
Antes de que la vida
Le ponga precio.
Le amarre la fortuna
Entre los dedos
O acaso la locura,
La luz o el miedo.

Quiso tener un hijo
Y se marchó a buscarlo.
Revisó las galaxias,
Astro por astro.
Se llenaron de niebla
Sus ojos claros,
En las muchas tinieblas
Del desengaño.

Quiso tener un hijo,
Pero no tiene nada
Más que un paisaje triste
En la mirada
Y un mundo de muñecos
Sobre la cama
Y el alma, como el cuarto,
Desordenada.

Es esa pobre vieja
Que sentada en la plaza,
Ve jugar a los niños
Alucinada.
Ella hubiera querido
Llamarlo Luna...
Y por querer, lo quiso
Más que ninguna.

Aunque jamás lo dijo,
La vieja de la plaza
Sé, que esperaba un hijo,
Yo sé que lo esperaba,
Mas se fueron sus sueños
De trasnochada
Y como no volvieron
Ya no espera más nada.

The Vie of the Square

She wanted to have a child
To call it the Moon
And for wanting, he wanted it
More than any.
May all the stars
From the heights,
Be a mother with her,
One by one.

She wanted to have a child
To release it on time,
Before the life
Put a price on it.
I'll tie up his fortune
Between the fingers
Or maybe the madness,
The light or the fear.

She wanted to have a child
And she left to look for him.
He reviewed the galaxies,
Astro by astro.
They were filled with fog
His clear eyes,
In the many darkness
Of disappointment.

She wanted to have a child,
But he has nothing
More than a sad landscape
In the look
And a world of dolls
On the bed
And the soul, as the fourth,
Messy.

It's that poor old
That sitting in the square,
Watch the children play
Freaked out.
She would have wanted
Call it the Moon...
And for wanting, he wanted it
More than any.

Although he never said it,
The old lady of the Square
I know, I was expecting a child,
I know I expected it,
But their dreams are gone
Late night
And since they didn't come back
He's not waiting for anything anymore.
