De Cal Y de Arena

Of Lime and Sand

De Cal Y de Arena

Crying over the dry riverLlora sobre el rio seco
My inconsolable songMi cancion desconsolada
On the edge of silenceA orillitas del silencio
Because you haven't told me anythingPorque no me has dicho nada
So much promised moonTanta luna prometida
Has covered the whole skyMe ha tapado todo el cielo
Your little burning emberDe tu brasita encendida
I haven't been able to igniteNo he sabido hacerme fuego
Stripped like the treeDespojado como el arbol
Of the flower and its foliageDe la flor y su enramada
Winter has caught up with meEl invierno me ha alcanzado
Not seeing you in loveDe no verte enamorada
ChorusEstribillo
What I have, I owe to youLo que tengo te lo debo
What I am, I have earnedLo que soy me lo he ganado
The sand one for loving youLa de arena por amarte
The lime one, for being distrustfulLa de cal, por desconfiado
When intention falls shortCuando la intencion no alcanza
Firm iron, lazinessHierro firme, la pereza
Coin on the scaleMonedita en la balanza
Loses due to its lightnessPierde por su ligereza
Like a mirror of the nightComo espejo de la noche
I have looked at myself in your eyesEn tus ojos me he mirado
I have nothing to look at myself inYa no tengo en que mirarme
But I'm still in lovePero sigo enamorado
Too late for regretsTarde para los lamentos
Too late to hold you backPara retenerte, tarde
To die very earlyPa´morirme muy temprano
Early to forget youTempranito pa´olvidarte
