Paroles et traduction Jaime Roos - Golondrinas

Golondrinas

Al salir del Metropol,
Ibamos a un bar,
Para hablar como mayores,
Del futuro...

Era un tema manso, sin apuros
Y el futuro, enorme, a que apurar,
A que apurar?

Alli, dichosos, nos dejabamos estar,
Todo era diáfano, fácil, seguro,
Cuando en su universo,
Poético y puro, llegaba el mozo,
Que van a tomar?
Y que van a tomar?

Entonces lo mirábamos de medio lado,
Con el desdén de los soñadores,
Y con el yunte, apenas murmurado,
Ella volvía a colgar cortinas de colores,
Y en la pared de un patio sombreado,

Golondrinas de yeso y otros primores,
Golondrinas de yeso y otros primores,
Golondrinas de yeso y otros primores,

Al salir del Metropol, ibamos a un bar,
Alli dichosos nos dejabamos estar,
Todo era diáfano, fácil, seguro,
Cuando en su universo,
Poético y puro, llegaba el mozo,
Que van a tomar?

Swallows

As we left the Metropol,
We headed to a bar,
To speak like adults,
About the future...

It was a casual topic, without any rush,
And the future, so vast, what need to hurry,
What need to hurry?

There, blissfully, we let ourselves be,
Everything was clear, easy, certain,
Until within his universe,
Poetic and pure, the waiter arrived,
What will you have?
And what will you have?

Then we would glance at him sideways,
With the disdain of dreamers,
And with a murmured aside,
She would once more hang colorful curtains,
And on the wall of a shady patio,

Plaster swallows and other decorations,
Plaster swallows and other decorations,
Plaster swallows and other decorations,

As we left the Metropol, we headed to a bar,
There, blissfully we let ourselves be,
Everything was clear, easy, certain,
Until within his universe,
Poetic and pure, the waiter arrived,
What will you have?
