Paroles et traduction Susana Baca - Una Copla me ha Cantado

Una Copla me ha Cantado

Una copla me ha cantado
La prenda que quiero yo
Con esa copla, a cuchillo
Me ha desangrado la voz
Me ha desangrado la voz

Pensará que yo no entiendo
Lo que en su copla cantó
Desde su primera nota
Se me acostó en la razón
Se me acostó en la razón

"¿Cuál será?" Dirán ustedes
La copla que me cantó
Es igual que el estampido
Que mata sin son ni ton
Que mata sin son ni ton

Que mata sin son ni ton

A Verse Has Sung to Me

A verse has sung to me
The gift that I desire
With that verse, like a knife
It has drained my voice of blood
It has drained my voice of blood

You think that I do not understand
What your verse sang
From its first note
It has settled in my mind
It has settled in my mind

"Which one could it be?" you will ask
The verse that has sung to me
It is just like the gunshot
That kills without rhyme or reason
That kills without rhyme or reason

That kills without rhyme or reason
