Paroles et traduction Pablo Milanés - 36 peldaños

36 peldaños

Bajo el pecho abierto
Del atardecer, dos caminantes van,
Unen sus manos: pienso en tí, pienso en tí.
Por reflejo, busco, miro y no estas;
Dos que caminan, van;
Unen sus manos
Pienso en tí, pienso en tí.
En qué manos
Mis manos reclaman estar
Qué distancia es exacta
Qué tiempo hay que andar,
Las mitades ocultas
Se muestran a mí:
Significa que pronto regreso por tí.
Treinta y seis peldaños, subí,
Mas no hay cansancio, en mí;
Miro por encima
De tí, de tí, soy feliz.
Doy dos vueltas
Busco, miro, y ya estás
Dos caminantes
Mas unen sus manos
Pienso en tí
Pienso en tí.

36 Steps

Beneath the open chest
Of dusk, two walkers go,
They join their hands: I think of you, I think of you.
As a reflex, I search, look, and you're not there;
Two walking, going;
They join their hands
I think of you, I think of you.
In which hands
Do my hands demand to be
What distance is exact
What time is there to walk,
The hidden halves
Reveal themselves to me:
It means I'll soon return for you.
Thirty-six steps, I climbed,
But there's no tiredness, in me;
I look from above
Of you, of you, I'm happy.
I take two turns
Searching, looking, and now you're there
Two walkers
But they join their hands
I think of you
I think of you.
