Paroles et traduction Andrés Calamaro - Rio Manso

Rio Manso

Mirando correr el río
Le dije casi en silencio
"Vas a tener que andar mucho
Para ganarle a mi sueño"
Y sobre la arena fresca
La cabeza dibujé
De una pasión imposible
Que me escribía de Santa Fe
Y una noche correntina
De aquellas que no se igualan
Estaba la tosca arena
Conversando con el agua
Enero estaba fundiendo
Sobre el río su calor
Y junto al perfil querido
Puse mis venas de verseador
Mira que cabeza loca
Poner sus ojos en mí
Yo que siempre ando de paso
No podré hacerte feliz
Olvídame te lo ruego
Yo soy como el Paraná
Que sin detener su marcha
Besa la playa y se va
Que sin detener su marcha
Besa la playa y se va
Una noche correntina
De aquellas que no se igualan
Estaba la tosca arena
Conversando con el agua
Enero estaba fundiendo
Sobre el río su calor
Y junto al perfil querido
Puse mi vena de verseador
Mira que cabeza loca
Poner sus ojos en mí
Yo que siempre ando de paso
No podré hacerte feliz
Olvídame te lo ruego
Yo soy como el Paraná
Que sin detener su marcha
Besa la playa y se va
Que sin detener su marcha
Besa la playa y se va

Gentle River

Watching the river flow
I said to her almost in a whisper
"You're going to have to go a long way
To conquer my dream"
And on the cool sand
I drew the head
Of an impossible passion
Who wrote to me from Santa Fe
And one Corrientes night
One of those nights that can't be equaled
The rough sand was
Conversing with the water
January was melting
Its heat over the river
And next to the beloved profile
I put my singer's veins
Look what a crazy head
To set her eyes on me
I who always pass by
Will not be able to make you happy
Forget me, I beg you
I am like the Paraná
Which without stopping its course
Kisses the beach and leaves
Which without stopping its course
Kisses the beach and leaves
One Corrientes night
One of those nights that can't be equaled
The rough sand was
Conversing with the water
January was melting
Its heat over the river
And next to the beloved profile
I put my singer's vein
Look what a crazy head
To set her eyes on me
I who always pass by
Will not be able to make you happy
Forget me, I beg you
I am like the Paraná
Which without stopping its course
Kisses the beach and leaves
Which without stopping its course
Kisses the beach and leaves
