Grape from the Old Vine

Uva de La Vieja Parra

Blessed by the godBendecida por el dios
of well-lived years,de los años bien llevados,
although it may not seem like itaunque no parezca es
grape from the old vineuva de la vieja parra

What she knows how to do is not taught in school,Lo que sabe hacer no lo enseñan en la escuela,
that's higher knowledge.que es materia superior.
It could have been better,Pudo ser mejor,
but our dance ends.pero nuestro baile acaba.
Let those who can dance dance.Dance quien pueda danzar.
Free like a tigress,Libre como una tigresa,
like the dark cat from the dark bar,como el gato oscuro del oscuro bar,
beware if it were to appear here.cuídate si apareciera por aquí.

Too much panther for a tamer.Mucha pantera para un domador.
Happy is the one who doesn't fall in loveFeliz el que no se enamora
and you have known how to do it.y tú te lo has sabido hacer.
Delilah, call me SamsonDalilah, llámame Sansón
and my scissors I will give you.y mis tijeras te daré.

It wasn't enough to be the lastNo bastó con ser el último
to be the first someday.para ser el primero alguna vez.
Too many words, little desire to read.Mucha letra, pocas ganas de leer.
So little water for so much thirst!!Qué poca agua para tanta sed!
Happy are those who are happy,Felices los que son felices,
I am no longer hanging on to you.ya no estoy colgado de ti.
Lucky are those who didn't love you,Qué suerte los que no te amaron,
just played at playing.sólo jugaban a jugar.
Happy is the one who doesn't fall in loveFeliz el que no se enamora
and you have known how to do it.y tú te lo has sabido hacer.
Delilah, call me SamsonDalilah, llámame Sansón
and my scissors I will give you.y mis tijeras te daré
