Paroles et traduction Nino Bravo - Cartas Amarillas

Cartas Amarillas

Soñé que volvía
A amanecer
Soñé con otoños
Ya lejanos
Mi luz se ha apagado
Mi noche ha llegado
Busqué tu mirada y no la hallé

La lluvia ha dejado
De caer
Sentado en la playa
Del olvido
Formé con la arena
Tu imagen serena
Tu pelo con algas dibujé

Y busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
Mil "te quiero", mil caricias
Y una flor que entre dos hojas se durmió

Y mis brazos vacíos se cerraban
Aferrándose a la nada
Intentando
Detener mi juventud

Al fin hoy he vuelto
A la verdad
Mis manos vacías
Te han buscado
La hiedra ha crecido
El sol se ha dormido
Te llamo y no escuchas ya mi voz

Y busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
Mil "te quiero", mil caricias
Y una flor que entre dos hojas
Se durmió

Y mis brazos vacíos se cerraban
Aferrándose a la nada
Intentando detener
Mi juventud

Y busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
Mil "te quiero", mil caricias
Y una flor que entre dos hojas se durmió

Yellow Letters

I dreamed that I returned
To see the dawn again
I dreamed of autumns
Now distant
My light has gone out
My night has come
I searched for your gaze and did not find it

The rain has stopped
From falling
Sitting on the beach
Of oblivion
I formed your serene image
With the sand
I drew your hair with seaweed

And I searched among your yellow letters
A thousand "I love you's", a thousand caresses
And a flower that fell asleep between two leaves

And my empty arms closed
Clinging to nothing
Trying
To stop my youth

At last today I have returned
To the truth
My empty hands
Have searched for you
The ivy has grown
The sun has fallen asleep
I call out for you, but you no longer hear my voice

And I searched among your yellow letters
A thousand "I love you's", a thousand caresses
And a flower that fell asleep
Between two leaves

And my empty arms closed
Clinging to nothing
Trying to stop
My youth

And I searched among your yellow letters
A thousand "I love you's", a thousand caresses
And a flower that fell asleep between two leaves
