Paroles et traduction Juana Molina - Elena

Elena

Elena viene anunciando
Vientos muy frescos, o un vendaval.
Quizás sea un temporal, eso jamás se sabrá.
Ella va sembrando, cosechando la bondad
Ella va sirviendo, va vertiendo
Lo que natura non da
Algunos la confunden con una arpía, o con el mal.
A elena le daba igual, siempre le dió igual
Elena iba ausente, ida, distraida,
Viendo pasar el hada maga.
Lo que haga se verá. era santa
Un día elena no aparece,
Todos empiezan a inquietarse
En realidad lo que se espera
Es que haya otra igual
Quizás un día muy suave
Un ángel la llevará
Volando alto en el aire
Y elena no volverá. era santa

Elena

Elena comes announcing
Very fresh winds, or a gale.
Maybe it's a storm, that will never be known.
She goes sowing, reaping goodness
She goes serving, pouring
What nature does not give
Some confuse her with a harpy, or with evil.
Elena didn't care, she never cared
Elena was absent, gone, distracted,
Watching the fairy magician pass by.
What she does will be seen. She was a saint
One day Elena doesn't show up,
Everyone starts to worry
Actually what is expected
Is that there is another one like her
Perhaps one very gentle day
An angel will take her away
Flying high in the air
And Elena will not return. She was a saint
