Ponme - Jorge Drexler , PALA traduction en anglais

Ponme

Ponme donde no alcancé tu estatura
Donde tu luz no sea imaginable
Ponme ante la pared detrás del sable
O hazme lo que a los miedos la lectura

Ponme los instrumentos de tortura
Y aprieta el torniquete, por si acaso
Ponme donde Petrarca o Garcilaso
O ponme en el camión de la basura

Ponme donde nacer esté prohibido
O donde los crupieres del nirvana
Apuesten nuestras dichas al olvido
Ponme en tu palomar o en tu ventana

Que yo seré el candil que siempre he sido
Uno que solo alumbra con tu llama (que solo alumbra con tu llama)
Uno que solo alumbra con tu llama (alumbra con tu llama)
Que solo alumbra, que solo alumbra, que solo alumbra con tu llama
Que solo alumbra con tu llama

Place Me

Place me where I couldn't reach your height
Where your light is not imaginable
Place me in front of the wall behind the saber
Or make what reading is to fears

Place me the instruments of torture
And squeeze the torniquet, just in case
Place me where Petrarch or Garcilaso
Or place me in the garbage truck

Place me where being born is prohibited
Or where the croupiers of nirvana
Bet our happiness on oblivion
Place me in your dovecote or in your window

For I will be the candle that I have always been
One that only shines with your flame (that only shines with your flame)
One that only shines with your flame (shines with your flame)
That only shines, that only shines, that only shines with your flame
That only shines with your flame
