Nocturno

On a yellow nightEn una noche amarilla
In the white and green squareEn la plaza blanca y verde
The woman with black eyesLa mujer de ojos negros
Was writing in the dustEscribía sobre el polvo
Brought from a nearby starTraído de un astro cercano
Strange prophetic signsExtraños signos proféticos
As if she were an oracleComo si fuera un oráculo
And no one could understand herY que nadie la entendiera
Without anyone seeing herSin que ninguno la viera
Because no one could see herPorque nadie la veía
The woman with green (black) eyesA la mujer de ojos verdes (negros)
Who’s now on the rooftopQue ahora está en la azotea
Of an old, dirty buildingDe un viejo edificio sucio
Old ash-colored buildingViejo edificio ceniza
Like the dust of the MoonComo el polvo de la Luna
Where she writes the futureDonde ella escribe el futuro

La, la, la, laLa, la, la, la
La, la, laLa, la, la

And the woman with red (green, black) eyesY la mujer de ojos rojos (verdes, negros)
Is flying and watching youEstá volando y te mira
Through your windowA través de tu ventana
And laughs heartbroken, out of control, criesY ríe desconsolada, descontrolada, llora
