Carbon y Ramas Secas 2

Coal and Dry Branches 2

Carbon y Ramas Secas 2

The afternoon sleeps on the roofsSobre los tejados se duerme la tarde
Smoke from a cigar that Gardel smokesHumo de un cigarro que fuma Gardel
In the sweet liquor that wounds me wildlyEn el dulce licor que me hiere salvaje
In the scribbles I make on the tableclothEn los garabatos que hago en el mantel
And I'll wait and if you don't come backY esperaré y si no vuelves
Under the olive tree I will fall asleepBajo el olivo me quedaré dormido
And I'll wait, in case you get lostY esperaré, por si te pierdes
It will be my moon, your lit lanternSerá mi luna, tu fanal encendido

I give you my cape, my crimson capeTe regalo mi capa, mi capa de color grana
My sad smile raised on the branchesMi triste sonrisa alzada en las ramas
On the pennants, on the streamersEn los gallardetes, en las banderolas
And I'll make you a poppy red dressY te hago un vestido de un rojo amapola

Sailor's lullaby, knot of cravingsNana de marinero, nudo de antojos
That no one will love you as much as I doQue nadie te querrá tanto como yo
If I could look into your eyes nowSi ahora pudiese estar mirando tus ojos
I was going to be writing this song hereIba a estar escribiendo aquí esta canción
I'll wait. And if you don't come backEsperaré. Y si no vuelves
Under the olive tree I will fall asleepBajo el olivo me quedaré dormido
And I will live other forbidden livesY viviré otras vidas prohibidas
To the oblivion of the time I long forAl olvido del tiempo que añoro
The one I lived with youEl que viví contigo

I'll give you my gray horseMi caballo tordo yo te lo regalo
Coal, dry branches, I am in loveCarbón, ramas secas, soy enamorado
I want to forgive you, but I'm in no hurryPerdonarte quiero mas no tengo prisa
Excuse me for a moment, let me untangle myselfDisculpa un momento, que me desenredo

Help yourself to whatever you fancy in the meantimeSírvete entretanto lo que te apetezca
I want to redeem you more without surprisesRedimirte quiero mas sin sobresaltos

Triumph exudes a bitter tasteDestila el triunfo sabor amargo
From the dry fruit of disenchantmentDel seco fruto del desencanto
Laurel of triumph, bitter tasteLaurel del triunfo, sabor amargo
From the dry fruitDel seco fruto
From disenchantmentDel desencanto
