Esa Musiquita

That Little Music

Esa Musiquita

So much loneliness, so much absenceTanta soledad, tanta falta
So much distanceTanta lejanía
So much inability, so much nothingTanto no poder, tanta nada
So many goodbyesTanta despedida
Such pain of closed doorsTan dolor de puertas cerradas
Such humiliating painTan dolor que humilla
But in your tin roomPero en tu piecita de lata
That little musicEsa musiquita

That little music of the townEsa musiquita del pueblo
That little musicEsa musiquita
So humble that it soundsTan arrastradita que suena
So humbleTan arrastradita
How it accompanies and rocks youCómo te acompaña y te mece
How it caresses youCómo te acaricia
How it brings you back to lifeCómo te devuelve a la vida
That little musicEsa musiquita

Spinning with its dancing shadowGira con su sombra bailando
That little musicEsa musiquita
Its skirt trembling as it fliesVuela estremecida su falda
Its skirt tremblingVuela estremecida
From what memories it saves youDesde qué recuerdos la salva
Magical and simpleMágica y sencilla
Full of sweet tremorsLlena de temblores dulzones
That little musicEsa musiquita

On the gray face of the mirrorEn la cara gris del espejo
The dancer seesVe la bailarina
Her blush of a girl dancingSu rubor de niña bailando
Her blush of a girlSu rubor de niña
While shamelessly she embracesMientras sin pudores se abraza
The melodyA la melodía
Of that music of the soulDe esa musiquita del alma
That little musicEsa musiquita

That little music of the townEsa musiquita del pueblo
That little musicEsa musiquita
So humble that it soundsTan arrastradita que suena
So humbleTan arrastradita
How it accompanies and rocks herCómo la acompaña y la mece
How it caresses herCómo la acaricia
How it brings her back to lifeCómo la devuelve a la vida
