Paroles et traduction Papina de Palma - La de la Luz

La de la Luz

Se esconde el sol, luna nueva
será que saliste a pasear.
Titilan los postes de la vereda,
la ciudad se queda sin electricidad.
Y sé que sos vos caminando
al almacén capaz,
o yendo a trabajar.
Nadie se anima a brillar
cuando tu luz atropella a las demás.
Salgo yo a caminar
y aprovecho el resplandorcito que vas dejando y no puedo más,
me acerco un poco a la estela
y acelero el paso.
Y te encuentro sentado en un banco
cantando canciones que no conozco.
Trato de tararear laralá
y me hablás de mi luz
y no sé mucho qué decirte.
Pienso que te volviste loco,
y no te das cuenta sos vos el foco
que rebota en los demás.
Y sé que sos vos caminando
que me hacés brillar
y ya está,
allá voy,
polilla borracha de tanto fulgor,
Y me quiero quedar en este banco
En esta oscuridad que brilla tanto

The One of Light

The sun hides, new moon,
could it be that you went out for a walk.
The streetlights flicker,
the city is left without electricity.
And I know that it's you walking
to the store perhaps,
or going to work.
No one dares to shine
when your light overshadows the others.
I go out for a walk
and I take advantage of the little bit of light that you're leaving behind and I can't take it anymore,
I get a little closer to the trail
and I quicken my pace.
And I find you sitting on a bench
singing songs that I don't know.
I try to hum along la-la-la
and you talk to me about my light
and I don't know what to say.
I think that you've gone crazy,
and you don't realize that you're the spotlight
that bounces off the others.
And I know that it's you walking
who makes me shine
and that's it,
there I go,
a moth drunk on so much brilliance,
And I want to stay on this bench
In this darkness that shines so much
