Paroles et traduction Soledad Bravo - La Maza

La Maza

Si no creyera en la locura
De la garganta del sinsonte
Si no creyera que en el monte
Se esconde el trino y la pavura.
Si no creyera en la balanza
En la razón del equilibrio
Si no creyera en el delirio
Si no creyera en la esperanza.
Si no creyera en lo que agencio
Si no creyera en mi camino
Si no creyera en mi sonido
Si no creyera en mi silencio.
Que cosa fuera
Que cosa fuera la maza sin cantera
Un amasijo hecho de cuerdas y tendones
Un revoltijo de carne con madera
Un instrumento sin mejores resplandores
Que lucecitas montadas para escena
Que cosa fuera -corazón- que cosa fuera
Que cosa fuera la maza sin cantera
Un testaferro del traidor de los aplausos
Un servidor de pasado en copa nueva
Un eternizador de dioses del ocaso
Jubilo hervido con trapo y lentejuela
Que cosa fuera -corazón- que cosa fuera
Que cosa fuera la maza sin cantera
Que cosa fuera -corazón- que cosa fuera
Que cosa fuera la maza sin cantera.

The Mace

If I did not believe in the insanity
Of the mockingbird's throat
If I did not believe that in the mountain
The trill and the fear are hidden.
If I did not believe in the balance
In the reason for the equilibrium
If I did not believe in delirium
If I did not believe in hope.
If I did not believe in what I arrange
If I did not believe in my path
If I did not believe in my sound
If I did not believe in my silence.
What would it be
What would the mace be without a quarry
A mass made of strings and tendons
A jumble of flesh and wood
An instrument without better glows
Than little lights mounted for a scene
What would it be -my love- what would it be
What would the mace be without a quarry
A straw man for the traitor of applause
A server of the past in a new cup
An eternalizer of sunset gods
Jubilee boiled with rags and sequins
What would it be -my love- what would it be
What would the mace be without a quarry
What would it be -my love- what would it be
What would the mace be without a quarry.
