Hay Quien Precisa - Silvio Rodríguez перевод на английский

Hay Quien Precisa

Los años pasan, sí,
La vida no;
El mundo estalla hermoso alrededor.
Si el corazón mortal
Me deja de latir,
En ese instante hay quien saltó a vivir.
Los años pasan, sí,
El fuego no:
El fuego volverá en los hijos del sol.
Si el pecho se apagó, por un soplo senil,
El gran incendio acudirá en cien mil.
Hay quien precisa una canción de amor;
Hay quien precisa un canto de amistad;
Hay quien precisa remontarse al sol
Para cantar la mayor libertad.
Hay quien precisa una canción de paz;
Hay quien precisa el canto de un fusil;
Hay quien precisa una evidencia más
Para tener la razón de vivir.
...
Los años pasan, sí,
Lo bello está;
Lo bello está invitando a irlo a tomar.
Si el sueño envejeció,
Fue triste para él:
Lo bello nunca más será de aquel.

Those Who Need

The years pass, yes,
But not life;
The world explodes beautifully around.
If my mortal heart
Stops beating,
At that moment there will be someone who has jumped to live.
The years pass, yes,
But not the fire:
The fire will return in the children of the sun.
If my chest is extinguished, by a senile breath,
The great fire will come in a hundred thousand.
There are those who need a love song;
There are those who need a song of friendship;
There are those who need to rise to the sun
To sing the greatest freedom.
There are those who need a song of peace;
There are those who need the song of a rifle;
There are those who need one more piece of evidence
To have a reason to live.
...
The years pass, yes,
But beauty remains;
Beauty is inviting me to take it.
If the dream has grown old,
It was sad for him:
Beauty will never again belong to him.
