Текст и перевод песни Tulsa - La Miel Que Pudo Ser

La Miel Que Pudo Ser

Me gustaría haber vivido entre colmenas
Y haber sacado la miel, con miedo a que me atacara
Un enjambre de abejas pardas y enfadadas
Y haber estado acostumbrada
Volver corriendo a casa, por una buena razón,
Volver corriendo a casa, con una buena excusa,
Volver con mi madre a casa.

Me gustaría haber hablado más con los franceses
Que venían a pasar la tarde a la calle San Pedro
Que alguno de ellos me hubiera invitado a hacer la ruta de los ...(?)
Pero siempre se iban demasiado temprano en el ... (?)
Porque los franceses siempre se van temprano,
Porque los franceses siempre se van demasiado temprano.

Pero hoy, aquí en este jardín,
Me conformo con no derramar de mi copa este elixir.
Pero hoy, aquí en este jardín,
Me conformo con saber que has vuelto a tu país

Me gustaría haber estudiado física nuclear
A lo mejor habría podido controlar nuestras partículas
A lo mejor habría podido evitar esta catastrofe
A lo mejor habría podido evitar este desastre

Pero no lo vi venir,
No lo pude ni imaginar
Este rubicón nuestro que quisimos cruzar
Mi empeño sombrío que ahora tengo que pagar.

Pero hoy, aquí en este jardín,
Me conformo con no derramar de mi copa este elixir.
Pero hoy, aquí en este jardín,
Me conformo con la miel que un día pudo ser.

The Honey That Could Have Been

I would have liked to have lived among beehives
And extracted the honey, in fear of being attacked
By a swarm of angry brown bees
And have been accustomed
To running back home, for a good reason,
To running back home, with a good excuse,
To come home to my mother.

I would have liked to have talked more with the French
Who came to spend the evening on San Pedro Street
That one of them would have invited me to do the ...(?) route
But they always left too early in the ... (?)
Because the French always leave early,
Because the French always leave too early.

But today, here in this garden,
I settle for not spilling this elixir from my cup.
But today, here in this garden,
I settle for knowing that you have returned to your country

I would have liked to have studied nuclear physics
Maybe I would have been able to control our particles
Maybe I could have avoided this catastrophe
Maybe I would have been able to avoid this disaster

But I didn't see it coming,
I couldn't even imagine it
This Rubicon of ours that we wanted to cross
My gloomy determination that I now have to pay for.

But today, here in this garden,
I settle for not spilling this elixir from my cup.
But today, here in this garden,
I am content with the honey that could have been.
