Paroles et traduction Pablo Milanés - Mariposa

Mariposa

Quisiera ser un verso
Que tuviera ritmo de primavera
Que fuera como una fina mariposa, rara
Como una mariposa que volara
Sobre tu vida
Y cándida y ligera revolara
Sobre tu cuerpo cálido,
De cálida de palmera
Y al fin subo el absurdo reposar
Tal como en una rosa azul de la pradera
Sobre la linda rosa de tu cara.
Quisiera ser un verso
Que tuviera toda la fragancia de la primavera
Y que cual una mariposa rara
Revolara sobre tu vida, sobre tu cuerpo
Sobre tu cara.

Butterfly

I would like to be a verse
That had the rhythm of spring
That was like a fine, rare butterfly
Like a butterfly that would fly
Over your life
And fluttering, pure and light
Over your body, warm
With palm tree warmth
And finally, climbing the absurd, rest
Like on a blue rose in a meadow
On the pretty rose of your face.
I would like to be a verse
That had the full fragrance of spring
And like a rare butterfly
That fluttered over your life, over your body
Over your face.
