Quince Abriles - Jaime Roos traduction en anglais

Quince Abriles

Apareciste entre la gente
Los labios rojo sangre

Te hacían juego con el vestido marfil
Hablamos de tus quince años
Del vals interminable
Y del paseo del 19 de abril

Y poco a poco comprendía
Que no estabas
Mirándome a mi
Y poco a poco comprendía
Que los Beatles
No hablaban de ti

Miré sin pausa tus zapatos
Mis manos escondidas
Se atormentaban por abrazarte
Toda la gente que bailaba
Yo esperando el momento
Mas oportuno que sacarte
Y bien sabía que mis velas eran falsas
No lo iba a intentar
Otro cumpleaños que miraba de reojo

Sin saber bailar
Y tus encantos continuaban
A pesar de mi esfuerzo
Por refugiarme en i'm fixing a hole

Y los galanes del liceo
Llevaban con soltura
A sus parejas girando en un rock and roll
Y quince abriles se van yendo temblororsos
De mi corazón
Y los destellos de tu tiara se confunden
Con esta canción

Y las columnas de la pista se derrumban
De desolación
Y los amores imposibles se sumergen
En esta canción

Fifteen Springs

You appeared among the people
Your blood-red lips

Matched your ivory dress
We talked about your fifteenth birthday
About the endless waltz
And the parade on 19th April

And little by little I understood
That you weren't really
Looking at me
And little by little I understood
That the Beatles
Weren't singing about you

I stared at your shoes
My hidden hands
Were aching to hold you
Everyone was dancing
I was waiting for the perfect moment
To ask you to dance
But I knew that my hopes were in vain
I wouldn't try
Another birthday I watched from a distance

Without knowing how to dance
And your charms continued
Despite my efforts
To take refuge in I'm Fixing a Hole

And the high school heartthrobs
Led their partners with ease
Spinning them around in a rock and roll
And fifteen springs are trembling away
From my heart
And the sparkles of your tiara are confused
With this song

And the pillars of the room collapse
In desolation
And impossible loves are submerged
In this song
