Era Una Vez

Once Upon a Time

Era Una Vez

Once upon a time, a poet who was a loverEra una vez un poeta que amante
Let his flowers run down the riverDejó sus flores correr por el río
For his love who waited far awayPara su amor que esperaba distante
With anxiety, he sent his love.Con ansiedad el envío del amor.

On the wings of memory, traveling a thousand destinations,En las alas del recuerdo recorriendo mil destinos,
Not hurting from the past and making a stop along the way.No doliendo del pasado y hace un alto en el camino.
That tale that one night a sad and distant voiceAquel cuento que una noche una voz triste y lejana
In its wait without tomorrow told him its emotion.En su espera sin mañana le contara su emoción.

The stars went outSe apagaron las estrellas
And without roses the rosebush,Y sin rosas el rosal,
He couldn't find forgetfulnessNo ha podido hallar olvido
That endless tale.Aquel cuento sin final.

Once upon a time, a poet who was a loverEra una vez un poeta que amante
Let his flowers run down the riverDejó sus flores correr por el río
For his love who waited far awayPara su amor que esperaba distante
With anxiety, he sent his love.Con ansiedad el envío del amor.

He had a saffron-colored collarAveva un bavero color zafferano
And a cyclamen-colored jacketE la marsina color ciclamino
He came on foot from Lodi to MilanVenidi a piedi da lodi a milano
To meet the beautiful Gigogin.Per incontrare la bella gigogin.

And his verses and his roses sliding in the riverY sus versos y sus rosas deslizándose en el río
Found no sun or harbor in his sweet delirium.No encontraron sol ni puerto en su dulce desvarío.
The poet night after night without fatigue and without boredomEl poeta noche a noche sin cansancio y sin hastío
In his pain without reproach calls for the dream of glass.En su pena sin reproche llama al sueño de cristal.
