Era En Abril

It Was in April

Era En Abril

You know, brother, how sad I amSabes hermano lo triste que estoy
It's turned into a flight of chirpsSe me ha hecho vuelo de trinos
And blood in my voiceY sangre la voz
It's shattered into piecesSe me ha hecho pedazos
My best dreamMi sueño mejor
My baby has died, my baby, my babySe ha muerto mi niño, mi niño, mi niño
My baby, brotherMi niño, hermano

He couldn't fill his mouth with soundNo pudo llenarse la boca de voz
Barely emptied the bellyApenas vació el vientre
Of my sweet loveDe mi dulce amor
Huge and blue, life was given to himEnorme y azul, la vida se le dio
He couldn't take it, he couldn't take itNo pudo tomarla, no pudo tomarla
Being so smallDe tan pequeño

I had made him a white songYo le había hecho, una blanca canción
Of love between a cloudDel amor entre una nube
And a flying fishY un pez volador
I dreamed of him running, wrapped in sweatLo soñé corriendo, abrigado en sudor
His cheeks full, his cheeks fullLas mejillas llenas, las mejillas llenas
Of sun and sweetnessDe Sol y dulzor

It was in April, the warm rhythmEra en abril el ritmo tibio
Of my little one dancingDe mi chiquito que danzaba
Inside the belly, a blooming meadowDentro del vientre, un prado en flor
It was his bed and the belly button and the belly buttonEra su lecho y el ombligo y el ombligo
The belly button, the sunEl ombligo el Sol

Don't look for a better way, brotherNo busques hermano el camino mejor
Because my soul is muteQue ya tengo el alma muda
To tell GodDe decirle a Dios
What do we do now, my sweetness and IQué hacemos ahora, mi dulzura y yo
With two full breasts, with two full breastsCon dos pechos llenos, con dos pechos llenos
Of milk and painDe leche y dolor

It was in April, the warm rhythmEra en abril el ritmo tibio
Of my little one dancingDe mi chiquito que danzaba
Inside the belly, a blooming meadowDentro del vientre un prado en flor
It was his bed and the belly buttonEra su lecho y el ombligo
And the belly button, the belly button, the sunY el ombligo, el ombligo el Sol

We're thinking, would it be betterEstamos pensando, sería mejor
For the three of us to leave, for the three of us to leaveEl marcharnos tres, el marcharnos tres
Than to stay as twoQue quedarnos dos

It was in April, the warm rhythmEra en abril el ritmo tibio
Of my little one dancingDe mi chiquito que danzaba
Inside the belly, a blooming meadowDentro del vientre un prado en flor
It was his bed and the belly buttonEra su lecho y el ombligo
And the belly button, the belly button, the sunY el ombligo, el ombligo el Sol
