Текст и перевод песни Carlos Varela - Siete

Siete

Siete vidas, siete mares, siete maravillas y siete ciudades.
Siete notas musicales, siete cielos y pecados capitales.
Siete potencias, siete colores, siete lunas y siete soles.

Cuando tenía siete
Me llegó el setenta.
La calle era un juguete
Y no nos dábamos cuenta
Que diez años más tarde,
Con los diecisiete,
Nos dividió el ochenta
Entre el quédate o vete.
Y todo por aquello de las dos orillas.
Y todo por la duda de la sombrilla.
Porque es que aunque lo traten
De esconder
La gente siempre sueña
Porque saben que:

Existen siete vidas siete mares, siete maravillas y siete ciudades.
Siete notas musicales, siete cielos y pecados capitales.
Siete potencias, siete colores, siete lunas y siete soles.
Siete enanos de Blancanieves,
Diecisiete instantes de una primavera y siete amaneceres.

Cuando a los veintisiete
Se moría mi madre
Yo descubrí que el tiempo
No fue más que un cobarde.
Y aún siguen los abuelos
De las dos orillas
Echándose el anzuelo,
La culpa y la semilla.
Porque es que aunque lo traten de esconder
La gente siempre sueña
Porque saben que:

Existen siete vidas, siete mares, siete maravillas y siete ciudades.
Siete notas musicales, siete cielos y pecados capitales.
Siete potencias, siete colores, siete lunas y siete soles.
Siete santos de siete altares,
Y las iglesias siguen siendo iguales a los bares.
Que tienen siete vidas, siete mares,
Siete maravillas y siete ciudades.
Siete notas musicales, siete cielos y pecados capitales.
Siete potencias, siete colores, siete lunas y siete soles.
Siete enanos de Blancanieves,
Diecisiete instantes de una primavera y siete amaneceres.
Siete vidas, siete mares.
Siete notas musicales.

Seven

Seven lives, seven seas, seven wonders, and seven cities.
Seven musical notes, seven heavens, and seven deadly sins.
Seven powers, seven colors, seven moons, and seven suns.

When I was seven,
The seventies arrived.
The street was a playground,
And we didn't realize
That ten years later,
At seventeen,
The eighties divided us
Between staying or leaving.
And all because of those two shores.
And all because of the doubt of the umbrella.
Because even though they try
To hide it,
People always dream
Because they know that:

There are seven lives, seven seas, seven wonders, and seven cities.
Seven musical notes, seven heavens, and seven deadly sins.
Seven powers, seven colors, seven moons, and seven suns.
Seven dwarfs of Snow White,
Seventeen moments of spring, and seven sunrises.

When I was twenty-seven
My mother was dying,
I discovered that time
Was nothing but a coward.
And the grandparents still remain
From both shores,
Casting the hook,
The guilt and the seed.
Because even though they try to hide it,
People always dream
Because they know that:

There are seven lives, seven seas, seven wonders, and seven cities.
Seven musical notes, seven heavens, and seven deadly sins.
Seven powers, seven colors, seven moons, and seven suns.
Seven saints of seven altars,
And churches are still the same as bars.
They have seven lives, seven seas,
Seven wonders, and seven cities.
Seven musical notes, seven heavens, and seven deadly sins.
Seven powers, seven colors, seven moons, and seven suns.
Seven dwarfs of Snow White,
Seventeen moments of spring, and seven sunrises.
Seven lives, seven seas.
Seven musical notes.
