Coplas a La Luna

Verses to the Moon

Coplas a La Luna

(Zamba)(Zamba)

The moon came down to the trunksLa luna bajó a los troncos
overa of night and soulovera de noche y alma
for staying face uppor quedarse boca arriba
made string in the guitars.hecha cuerda en las guitarras.

The moon fell into the ditchLa luna cayó a la acequia
drunk from close nightsebria de noches cerranas
And covered herself with the waterY se tapó con el agua
Because no one was looking at her.Porque nadie la miraba.

There is a dream moonHay una luna de sueño
dream of silent nightssueño de noches calladas
that is stealing my lifeque anda robando mi vida
through my enamored blood.por mi sangre enamorada.

It became leather and woodSe hizo cuero y madera
the moon turned into a boxla luna se volvió caja
when alone on the hillcuando solita en el cerro
the bagualas cried for her.le lloraron las bagualas.

The moon will be a dovePaloma será la luna
white chest and white wingblanco pecho y ala blanca
flying from sky to skyvolando de cielo en cielo
in the dream of a sleepless night.en el sueño de un desvelo.

There is a dream moonHay una luna de sueño
dream of silent nightssueño de noches calladas
that is stealing my lifeque anda robando mi vida
through my enamored blood.por mi sangre enamorada.
