Paroles et traduction Ismael Serrano - Caperucita

Caperucita

Caperucita sólo tiene dieciséis
Primaveras sin flores, papá le dice: "Ven.
Caperucita eres joven y tienes que aprender
A ocuparte de la casa, que serás una mujer.

Para que seas buena esposa
Y no envejezcas sola,
En la cama y la cocina has de saber
Alegrar a tu marido y cuidar a cada hijo,
Que te atrapa tu destino,
Que has de ser madre y esposa".
Y la pobre Caperucita llora.

"Quiero volar, lejos de aquí escapar.
Dime, mi bien, quién me llorará
Si me dan alas y echo a volar.
Quiero dormir, no quiero despertar,
Quiero ser la lluvia al otro lado del cristal,
Quizás alguien me espere en la oscuridad".

Una fría tarde Caperucita iba
A casa de su abuela a llevarle comida,
Cuando se encontró con un lobo feroz.
"Dime dónde vas niña, que te acompaño yo".

La muchacha se supo perdida.
Gritaba Caperucita
Mientras la devoraba el lobo.
Bajo la falda del vestido
Estallaron los dormidos
Sueños que en la noche
La mantenían viva. Pobre Caperucita.

"Quiero volar, lejos de aquí escapar.
Dime, mi bien, quién me llorará
Si me dan alas y echo a volar.
Quiero dormir, no quiero despertar,
Quiero ser la lluvia al otro lado del cristal,
Quizás alguien me espere en la oscuridad".

Una gris mañana Caperucita se casó,
Vestida de blanco, bella como una flor.
Su marido, muy elegante, otro lobo feroz,
Y su padre orgulloso lloraba de emoción.

Ahora cada noche el lobo la devora,
Clava sus dientes, y llora
Caperucita mientras espera a que un aullido
Le diga que el dormido animal despertó.
Después descansa tranquilo el malvado lobo feroz.

La cara de Caperucita alumbra una sonrisa
Mientras mece una cuna. En ella está una niña,
Quizás futura oveja para un lobo feroz,
A no ser que afortunada la rescate tu amor.

Caperucita la arrulla contra el pecho
Y un murmullo lento y lleno
De esperanza y vida,
Canta Caperucita.

"Quiero volar, lejos de aquí escapar.
Dime, mi bien, quién me llorará
Si me dan alas y echo a volar.
Quiero dormir, no quiero despertar,
Quiero ser la lluvia al otro lado del cristal,
Quizás alguien me espere en la oscuridad.

Quiero volar".

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is only sixteen,
Springs without flowers, her father says: "Come.
Little Red Riding Hood, you're young and you must learn
To take care of the house, for you'll become a woman."

"So you can be a good wife
And not grow old alone,
In bed and in the kitchen you must know
How to please your husband and care for each child,
For your destiny holds you,
You must be a mother and a wife."
And poor Little Red Riding Hood cries.

"I want to fly, escape far from here.
Tell me, my love, who will cry for me
If I'm given wings and I take flight.
I want to sleep, I don't want to wake,
I want to be the rain on the other side of the window,
Maybe someone waits for me in the dark."

One cold afternoon, Little Red Riding Hood was going
To her grandmother's house to bring her food,
When she met a ferocious wolf.
"Tell me where you're going, little girl, I'll accompany you."

The girl knew she was lost.
Little Red Riding Hood screamed
As the wolf devoured her.
Under her dress
The sleeping ones exploded,
Dreams that in the night
Kept her alive. Poor Little Red Riding Hood.

"I want to fly, escape far from here.
Tell me, my love, who will cry for me
If I'm given wings and I take flight.
I want to sleep, I don't want to wake,
I want to be the rain on the other side of the window,
Maybe someone waits for me in the dark."

One gray morning Little Red Riding Hood got married,
Dressed in white, beautiful like a flower.
Her husband, very elegant, another ferocious wolf,
And her proud father cried with emotion.

Now every night the wolf devours her,
He sinks his teeth in, and cries
Little Red Riding Hood as she waits for a howl
To tell her that the sleeping animal has awakened.
Then the evil ferocious wolf rests peacefully.

Little Red Riding Hood's face lights up with a smile
As she rocks a cradle. In it lies a little girl,
Perhaps a future sheep for a ferocious wolf,
Unless, by good fortune, your love rescues her.

Little Red Riding Hood lulls her against her chest
And a slow murmur, full
Of hope and life,
Little Red Riding Hood sings.

"I want to fly, escape far from here.
Tell me, my love, who will cry for me
If I'm given wings and I take flight.
I want to sleep, I don't want to wake,
I want to be the rain on the other side of the window,
Maybe someone waits for me in the dark.

I want to fly."
