Текст и перевод песни Violeta Parra - Paloma Ausente

Paloma Ausente

Cinco noches que lloro por los caminos
Cinco cartas escritas se llevó el viento
Cinco pañuelos negros son los testigos
De los cinco dolores que llevo adentro

Paloma ausente
Blanca paloma
Rosa naciente

Paso lunas enteras mirando al cielo
Con un solo deseo en el pensamiento
Que no descienda herida mi palomita
La que viene fundida a los elementos

Paloma ausente
Blanca paloma
Rosa naciente

Dice un papel escrito con tinta verde
Que teniendo paciencia todo se alcanza
Una que bien la tuvo, salió bailando
De su jardín al arco de las alianzas

Paloma ausente
Blanca paloma
Rosa naciente

Una jaula del aire viene bajando
Con todos sus barrotes de calamina
Todos los pajarillos vienen trinando
Sin embargo distingo a mi golondrina

Paloma ausente
Blanca paloma
Rosa naciente

Voy a ponerme un traje de mariposa
Mañana cuando llegue mi palomita
En los dedos, banderas de tres colores
Y en las pestañas miles de candelillas

Paloma ausente
Blanca paloma
Rosa naciente

Absent Dove

Five nights that I cried along the roads
Five written letters blown away by the wind
Five black handkerchiefs are the witnesses
Of the five pains that I carry inside

Absent dove
White dove
Blossoming rose

I spend whole moons looking at the sky
With only one wish in my thought
That my little dove will not descend wounded
She who is melted into the elements

Absent dove
White dove
Blossoming rose

A piece of paper written in green ink says
That with patience all is achieved
One who had it well, came out dancing
From her garden to the arch of the vows

Absent dove
White dove
Blossoming rose

A cage of air is coming down
With all its bars of corrugated iron
All the little birds are coming chirping
Yet I distinguish my swallow

Absent dove
White dove
Blossoming rose

I am going to put on a butterfly costume
Tomorrow when my little dove arrives
Flags of three colors on my fingers
And thousands of candles on my eyelashes

Absent dove
White dove
Blossoming rose
