El Escultor Y Ella

The Sculptor And Her

El Escultor Y Ella

He had a window to the skyTenía una ventana al cielo
where the sun came inpor donde entraba el sol
and a swallowy alguna golondrina
looking for a place to build its nestbuscando donde hacer su nido
on the tablesobre la mesa
tobacco and lonelinesstabaco y soledad
and in his handsy entre sus manos
clay and heartbarro y corazón
on the roof winden el tejado viento
and on the pedestal hery sobre el plinto ella

ChorusEstribillo
His hands slideSus manos se deslizan
through the claypor la arcilla
molding it and feeling its dampnessmodelándola y sintiendo su humedad
every fold of her bodycada pliegue de su cuerpo
must be as he wanted to imaginedebe ser como el la quiso imaginar
her slight smilesu sonrisa leve
her gazesu mirada
of deep lonelinessde profunda soledad

She will have the armsTendrá los brazos
of a dancerde una bailarina
and her bodyy su cuerpo
as naked as the seatan desnudo como el mar

She smiles when she thinksSe sonríe cuando piensa
if she could one day hear her sighsi pudiera un día oirla suspirar
and say my namey decir mi nombre
she could slowly make her fall in lovela podría poco a poco enamorar

The rain sang on the windowCantó la lluvia en la ventana
when he woke upcuando se despertó
the winter windel viento del invierno
was looking for a place to build its nestbuscaba donde hacer su nido
on the tablesobre la mesa
a bit of coffeeun poco de café
and in his gazey en su mirada
cold and lonelinessfrío y soledad
on the roof snowen el tejado nieve
and on the pedestal hery sobre el plinto ella
naked as the stem of a rosedesnuda como el tallo de una rosa
with her armscon sus brazos
outstretched towards himextendidos hacia el

In her mouth a smileEn su boca una sonrisa
waiting for his caressesperando su caricia
every dayun día mas
and in her sad eyesy en sus ojos tristes
a silence as deep as the seaun silencio tan profundo como el mar
they loved each other for the first timese amaron por primera vez
and theny luego
they embraced and cried without speakingse abrazaron y lloraron sin hablar
they vowed foreverse juraron para siempre
a love that no oneun amor que nunca
will ever understandnadie entenderá

The night covered themLes cubrió la noche
with its cloak of deep darknesscon su manto de profunda oscuridad

ChorusEstribillo
