De Cal Y de Arena
Llora sobre el rio seco
Mi cancion desconsolada
A orillitas del silencio
Porque no me has dicho nada
Tanta luna prometida
Me ha tapado todo el cielo
De tu brasita encendida
No he sabido hacerme fuego
Despojado como el arbol
De la flor y su enramada
El invierno me ha alcanzado
De no verte enamorada
Estribillo
Lo que tengo te lo debo
Lo que soy me lo he ganado
La de arena por amarte
La de cal, por desconfiado
Cuando la intencion no alcanza
Hierro firme, la pereza
Monedita en la balanza
Pierde por su ligereza
Como espejo de la noche
En tus ojos me he mirado
Ya no tengo en que mirarme
Pero sigo enamorado
Tarde para los lamentos
Para retenerte, tarde
Pa´morirme muy temprano
Tempranito pa´olvidarte
Of Lime and Sand
Crying over the dry river
My inconsolable song
On the edge of silence
Because you haven't told me anything
So much promised moon
Has covered the whole sky
Your little burning ember
I haven't been able to ignite
Stripped like the tree
Of the flower and its foliage
Winter has caught up with me
Not seeing you in love
Chorus
What I have, I owe to you
What I am, I have earned
The sand one for loving you
The lime one, for being distrustful
When intention falls short
Firm iron, laziness
Coin on the scale
Loses due to its lightness
Like a mirror of the night
I have looked at myself in your eyes
I have nothing to look at myself in
But I'm still in love
Too late for regrets
Too late to hold you back
To die very early
Early to forget you
