Paroles et traduction Estela Raval - Cartas Amarillas

Cartas Amarillas

Soñé con otoños ya lejanos.
Mi luz se ha apagado,
Mi noche ha llegado;
Busqué tu mirada y no la hallé.
La lluvia ha dejado de caer,
Sentado en la playa del olvido
Formé con la arena
Tu imagen serena,
Tu pelo con algas dibujé.

Y busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
Mil te quiero, mil caricias
Y una flor que entre dos hojas
Se durmió.
Y mis brazos vacíos se cerraban
Aferrándose a la nada,
Intentando detener mi juventud.

Al fin hoy he vuelto a la verdad,
Mis manos vacías te han buscado;
La hiedra ha crecido,
El sol se ha dormido,
Te llamo y no escuchas ya mi voz.

Y busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
Mil te quiero, mil caricias
Y una flor que entre dos hojas
Se durmió.
Y mis brazos vacíos se cerraban
Aferrándose a la nada,
Intentando detener mi juventud.

Y busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
Mil te quiero, mil caricias
Y una flor que entre dos hojas

Yellow Letters

I dreamt of autumns long gone,
My light has gone out,
My night has come;
I sought your gaze and did not find it.
The rain has stopped falling,
Sitting on the beach of oblivion
I formed your serene image
From the sand,
I drew your hair with seaweed.

And I searched among your yellow letters
Thousands of I love you's, thousands of caresses
And a flower that fell asleep
Between two leaves.
And my empty arms closed tight,
Clinging to nothing,
Trying to capture my youth.

Finally today I have returned to reality,
My empty hands have searched for you;
Ivy has grown,
The sun has fallen asleep,
I call to you and you no longer hear my voice.

And I searched among your yellow letters
Thousands of I love you's, thousands of caresses
And a flower that fell asleep
Between two leaves.
And my empty arms closed tight,
Clinging to nothing,
Trying to capture my youth.

And I searched among your yellow letters
Thousands of I love you's, thousands of caresses
And a flower that fell asleep
