Equivocó La Paloma
Se equivocó la paloma.
Se equivocaba.
Por ir al norte, fue al sur.
Creyó que el trigo era agua.
Se equivocaba.
Creyó que el mar era el cielo;
que la noche, la mañana.
Se equivocaba.
Que las estrellas, rocío;
que la calor; la nevada.
Se equivocaba.
Que tu falda era tu blusa;
que tu corazón, su casa.
Se equivocaba.
(Ella se durmió en la orilla.
Tú, en la cumbre de una rama.
The Dove Made a Mistake
The dove made a mistake.
She was mistaken.
Heading north, she went south.
She thought the wheat was water.
She was mistaken.
She thought the sea was the sky;
that night was morning.
She was mistaken.
That the stars were dew;
that heat was snow.
She was mistaken.
That your skirt was your blouse;
that your heart, its home.
She was mistaken.
(She fell asleep on the shore.
You, at the top of a branch.
