Paroles et traduction Edson Velandia - Grave

Grave

Pocas palabras dulces declara
Pocos gestos anuncia
Mira, apunta
Acuerta porque nunca dispara
Cómo niño sute
Guarda piedras negras
Raya muros blancos
Tierra come mucha
Grave, grave, grave
Acaricio lento, suave
Besa, solamente manos mejillas
Nunca busca bocas
Solo baila, canta
Pero nada escribe nunca
Nunca graba nada
Hombre antiguo, laborioso, cocinero
Gordo cuando duerme, delgado cuando trabaja
Poco llora
Pero cuando llora, llora poco
Grave, desconfiado
Sabio, bendito, sagrado
Refugio seguro siempre tuvo
Rechaza regalos caros
Rechaza premios, palmadas
Rechaza, miradas largas
Rechaza brazos apretados
Nunca Lee
Pero sabe chistes verdes
Nunca sopla
Solo suerbe, suerbe

Grave

He utters few sweet words
He announces few gestures
He looks, he points
He hits the mark because he never shoots
How does the subtle child
Keep dark stones
Scratches white walls
Eats a lot of soil
Grave, grave, grave
Slowly, softly I caress
He kisses, only hands and cheeks
He never seeks lips
He only dances, he sings
But he never writes anything
He never records anything
An ancient man, a worker, a cook
Fat when he sleeps, thin when he works
He cries little
But when he cries, he cries little
Grave, distrustful
Wise, blessed, sacred
He has always had a safe haven
He refuses expensive gifts
He refuses awards, applause
He refuses, long glances
He refuses arms clasped
He never reads
But he knows dirty jokes
He never blows
He only sips, sips
