A Las Ventanas

To the Windows

A Las Ventanas

I'm angry at the windowsLe tengo rabia a las ventanas
For always having the caress of the sunPor tener siempre la caricia del sol
And the hope of facing the new dayY la esperanza de enfrentar al nuevo dia
Drawing its warmthAtrayendo su calor

Today the valley is clearHoy el valle se domina despejado
Contemplating the city more clearlyContemplando mas clara la ciudad
And the cold mountain wind watches meY el viento frio de montaña me observa
Embracing the glassAbrazandose al cristal

Snowy hills that attract the sunCerros nevados que atraen al sol
To give shadow its colorPara darle a la sombra su color
Innocent shadows that the night leaves behindSombras inocentes que la noche atras
Dissolve in a crucible... to form your songSe diluyen en crisol... para formar tu cancion

Springs, noises, verses, and my voicePrimaveras, ruidos, versos y mi voz
I have life in three words: homeland, god, you, and meTengo la vida en tres palabras patria, dios, tu y yo
Although in arithmetic they may be fourAunque en aritmetica sean cuatro
In biology, two form oneEn biologia uno lo forman dos

My hands are cold, and not justMis manos se enfrian y no solo
For not having yoursPor no tener las tuyas
Also the lack of a true songAdemas la falta de un canto de verdad
I hardly make an effort to knowCasi no pongo empeño en saber
What will happen tomorrowLo que mañana pasara
If with my people all the good is hereSi con mi gente todo lo bueno esta

The afternoon reaches your windowLa tarde llego a tu ventana
And the night begins to lie downY la noche se tiende a recostar
It's a perfect frame for a skyEs un marco perfecto para un cielo
Where freedom fliesDonde vuela la libertad

Nocturnal singer and his melancholic rhythm, the night goes in searchCantador nocturno y su ritmo taciturno va la noche a buscar,
Cricket that watches over your sleep, like I did years agoGrillo que vigila tu sueño, como yo años atras
Lyre of leaves and frost piano, the star seems to danceLira de hojas y piano de escarcha la estrella parece danzar
At the same time that morning begins to illuminate usAl mismo tiempo que la mañana nos comienza a alumbrar

I feel the cold hands, and not justSiento las manos frias y no solo
For not having yoursPor no tener las tuyas
Also the lack of a true songAdemas la falta de un canto de verdad
I hardly make an effort to knowCasi no pongo empeño en saber
What will happen tomorrowLo que mañana pasara
If with my people all the good is hereSi con mi gente todo lo bueno esta

I'm angry at your window for having my rain beyondLe tengo rabia a tu ventana por tener mi lluvia mas alla
Beyond just a few drops that drip lonelinessMas alla de unas simples gotas que destilan soledad
I'm angry at my window when I see it smileLe tengo rabia a mi ventana cuando le veo sonreir
Smiling at the illuminated street and it's because your memorySonreirle a la calle iluminada y es que tu recuerdo
Still lingers around here... if it still lingers around here...Aun anda por aqui... si aun anda por aqui...
