Paroles et traduction Violeta Parra - Veintiuno Son los Dolores

Veintiuno Son los Dolores

Una vez que me asediaste
Dos juramentos me hiciste
Tres lagrimones vertiste
Cuatro gemidos sacaste

Cinco minutos dudaste
Seis más porque no te vi
Siete pedazos de mí
Ocho razones me aquejan
Nueve mentiras me alejan
Diez que en tu boca sentí

11 cadenas me amarran
12 quieren desprenderme
13 podrán detenerme
14 que me desgarran

15 perversos que embarran
Mis 16 esperanzas
Y 17 mudanzas
18 penas me dan
19 madurarán
20 más que ella me alcanza

21 son los dolores
Por 22 pensamientos
Me dan 23 tormentos
Por 24 temores

25 picaflores
Me dicen 26 veces
Que 27 me ofrecen
28 de esos estambres
Son 29 calambres
Los 30 que me adolecen

31 días te amé
32 horas soñaba
33 minutos daba
O 34 tal vez

35 yo escuché
36 junto a tu pecho
37 fue a mi lecho
38 de pasión
39 al corazón
40 amargo con despecho

Twenty-One Are The Sorrows

Once you besieged me
You made me two oaths
You shed three tears
You let out four groans

You hesitated for five minutes
Six more because you didn't see me
Seven pieces of me
Eight reasons afflict me
Nine lies alienate me
Ten I felt in your mouth

Eleven chains bind me
Twelve want to detach me
Thirteen may stop me
Fourteen that tear me apart

Fifteen perverse ones who muddy
My sixteen hopes
And seventeen moves
Eighteen sorrows give me
Nineteen will mature
Twenty more than her catches me

Twenty-one are the sorrows
For twenty-two thoughts
Give me twenty-three torments
For twenty-four fears

Twenty-five hummingbirds
Tell me twenty-six times
That twenty-seven they offer me
Twenty-eight of those stamens
Are twenty-nine cramps
The thirty that ache me

Thirty-one days I loved you
Thirty-two hours I dreamed
Thirty-three minutes I gave
Or thirty-four maybe

Thirty-five I listened
Thirty-six next to your chest
Thirty-seven went to my bed
Thirty-eight of passion
Thirty-nine to the heart
Forty bitter with scorn
