Paroles et traduction Miguel Poveda - Serafino (Alegrías)

Serafino (Alegrías)

Por una calle tan corta como usted
Que va a zancadas y empujando,
Como es que va
Una callecita corta
No la cruce sin mirar.

Feliz, el primo Félix es feliz,
Tumbao al sol de la nada
Con el deo en la nariz.

Mal flotaba por los bares,
Náufrago en la capital
Y que mal flotaba por los bares
Marinerito viejo
Sin ver sus playas;
Y apaga sus motores
Y así naufraga, y así naufraga.

No digo yo que no rías,
No digo yo que no goces,
Lo que te pido es que bajes
La musiquita del coche.
A la fuente del reniego
Yo le he renegao el agua
Y esa agüita no la bebo
Que sabe salá y amarga;
Y a la fuente del reniego, ay,
Que yo le he renegao el agua.

Que la memoria lo olvide
Me vienes tú a aconsejar,
Anda y pídele a los peces
Que se olviden de nadar
Y al hormigón que no pese.
Serafino, Serafino, ¿adónde lleva el Juanelo?
Bahía de su cintura, ya no está tu embarcadero.

Serafino (Alegrías)

Down this street, your presence is a bold stride
Pushing forward, taking up all the space,
How can it be
That a short little street
Can't be crossed without you making a scene?

Happy, my cousin Felix is happy,
Basking in the nothingness of the sun
With his finger in his nose.

I floated poorly through the bars,
A castaway in the capital city
And I floated poorly through the bars
An old mariner
Without a glimpse of his shores;
And he turns off his engines
And so he shipwrecks, and so he shipwrecks.

I'm not saying you shouldn't laugh,
I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun,
What I'm asking is that you turn down
The music in your car.
At the fountain of my disdain
I have cursed its water
And that water, I will not drink
For it tastes of salt and bitterness;
And at the fountain of my disdain, ay,
I have cursed its water.

You come to me and tell me
To forget the past,
Well go ahead and ask the fish
To forget how to swim
And ask the concrete not to be heavy.
Serafino, Serafino, where is Juanelo taking us?
Bay of your waist, your pier is gone.
