Él y Yo

He and I

Él y Yo

He was a dove, dove, doveÉl era un palomo, palomo, palomo
That I found one morning, under an old willowQue hallé una mañana, bajo un sauce viejo
He whispered three things and a verse in my earMe dijo al oído tres cosas y un verso
That I sang to them and I tell you thisQue yo les cantara y les digo esto

I am the dove, dove, doveYo soy el palomo, palomo, palomo
That is not sold for seven coinsQue no se remata por siete dineros
That has its creed, that has its verseQue tiene su credo que tiene su verso
Doesn't want another owner than its own flightNo quiere más dueño que su propio vuelo

I have my roof in a tree of kissesYo tengo mi techo en un árbol de besos
With flowers, words, and love in the centerCon flores, palabras y amor en el centro
I eat and drink and wait for the goldfinchEn el como y bebo y espero al jilguero
That comes to my branches with a new songQue llega a mis ramas con un canto nuevo

He doesn't bother me and I don't bother himNo se mete conmigo ni yo lo molesto
He doesn't copy my song, he has his own accentNi copia mi canto él tiene su acento
Both of us soar in a duel of dreamsLos dos remontamos un duelo de sueños
Each to his height, each in his own timeCada quien a su altura cada cual a su tiempo

I am the dove that has a treasureYo soy el palomo que tiene un tesoro
I will tell you what it consists ofLes voy a decir de que lo conformo
My voice and my song is what I offer youMi voz y mi canto lo que les ofrezco
If you don't change it, I leave it here for youSi no me lo cambia aquí se los dejo

I am the dove that has a treasureYo soy el palomo que tiene un tesoro
I will tell you what it consists ofLes voy a decir de que lo conformo
My voice and my song is what I offer youMi voz y mi canto lo que les ofrezco
If you don't change it, I leave it here for youSi no me lo cambia aquí se los dejo
