Riverbed 6

Un violinista sordo toca en los muellesA deaf violinist plays on the docks
Le falta un diente y está parado en una cajaHe's missing a tooth and he stands on a box
Sus gestos son febriles, sus mejillas mojadas de lágrimasHis gestures are feverish, his cheeks wet with tears
Duerme en su chaqueta, o al menos eso pareceHe sleeps in his jacket, or so it appears
Toca desde la tarde hasta la nocheHe plays from the late afternoon through the evening
Y se inclina con su sombrero en la mano antes de irseAnd bows with his hat in his hand before leaving
Toca para los ángeles mismos, estoy convencido de elloHe plays for the angels themselves I'm convinced of it
Porque de su instrumento no sale música algunaBecause no music at all comes out of his instrument
