The Mockingbird

Darío Gómez

El Sinsonte

El armonioso sinsonte ya no canta
Desde aquel día que mi amor se marchó
Tal vez se siente muy triste en esa casa
Al saber que muy solito quedé yo

Tú te fuiste y te llevaste mi alegría
Sabes que eras toda mi felicidad
El sinsonte se lo pasa noche y día
Revoloteando al sentir mi soledad

Muchas veces a su jaula yo me acerco
Y aletea como queriéndome hablar
Picoteando los alambres yo le entiendo
Que lo suelte para salirte a buscar
Picoteando los alambres yo le entiendo
Que lo suelte para salirte a buscar

Pero yo sé que al sinsonte se le olvida
La costumbre de allí no volverte a ver
Pobrecito de mí el resto de mi vida
A esperarte si saber si has de volver

Tú te fuiste y te llevaste mi alegría
Sabes que eras toda mi felicidad
El sinsonte se lo pasa noche y día
Revoloteando al sentir mi soledad

Muchas veces a su jaula yo me acerco
Y aletea como queriéndome hablar
Picoteando los alambres yo le entiendo
Que lo suelte para salirte a buscar
Picoteando los alambres yo le entiendo
Que lo suelte para salirte a buscar

The Mockingbird

The harmonious mockingbird no longer sings
Since that day when my love walked away
Maybe it feels so sad in that house
Knowing that I'm left all alone today

You left and took my joy with you
You know you were my whole happiness
The mockingbird spends its nights and days
Fluttering around, feeling my loneliness

Many times I approach its cage
And it flutters as if wanting to talk to me
Pecking at the wires, I understand
That it wants to be free to go look for you
Pecking at the wires, I understand
That it wants to be free to go look for you

But I know the mockingbird forgets
The habit of not seeing you again
Poor me, for the rest of my life
Waiting for you without knowing if you'll return

You left and took my joy with you
You know you were my whole happiness
The mockingbird spends its nights and days
Fluttering around, feeling my loneliness

Many times I approach its cage
And it flutters as if wanting to talk to me
Pecking at the wires, I understand
That it wants to be free to go look for you
Pecking at the wires, I understand
That it wants to be free to go look for you
