Paroles et traduction Javiera Parra - La Pajita

La Pajita

Esta que era una niña de cera,
Pero no era una niña de cera
Era una gavilla en la era.
Pero no era una gavilla,
Sino la flor tiesa de la maravilla.
Tampoco era la flor, sino que era
Un rayito de sol pegado a la vidriera.
No era un rayito de sol siquiera,
Una pajita dentro de mis ojitos era.
Alléguense a mirar como he perdido entera,
En este lagrimón, mi fiesta verdadera

La Pajita

You once were a waxen girl,
But you were not a waxen girl,
You were a sheaf on the threshing floor.
But you were not a sheaf,
But the stiff flower of the marvel.
You were not the flower either, but that you were
A ray of sunshine glued to the window pane.
You were not a ray of sunshine either,
A straw inside my little eyes you were.
Come look at how I have lost my whole,
In this teardrop, my true feast
