Son Oscuro

Dark Sound

Son Oscuro

Thick windEspeso viento
hits you in the facete da en la cara
life in a hurry,la vida aprisa,
rolling stone,piedra rodando,
and you in your magical calm.y tú en tu calma mágica.

Violent mirror,Violento espejo,
my song speaks to you,mi canto te habla,
reaches your shore,llega a tu orilla,
and in your silencesy en tus silencios
you turn pale.tú te le quedas pálida.

When my soul is squeezedCuando se estruja mi alma
it longs for palm and mamey pulpañora palma y pulpa de mamey
and moved in its roots it jumpsy conmovida en sus raíces salta
pouring a cup of coffee into the water.volcando al agua un cuenco de café.

I wanted to hide my soul,Quise esconder mi alma,
I wanted to hide my soulquise esconder mi alma
but it can be seen.pero se le ve.
Now there is no mystery,Ahora ya no hay misterio,
now the mysteryahora ya el misterio
got away from me.se me fue.
I wanted to hide my soulQuise esconder mi alma
but it can be seen.pero se me ve.
There is no mystery anymore,Ya no hay misterio,
the mysteryya el misterio
got away from me.se me fue.
I wanted to hide my soulQuise esconder mi alma
but it can be seen.pero se me ve.
and where I said twoy donde dije dos
it's not one, but three.no es uno, sino tres.

Crafty inventionAvieso invento
the one that ties you,el que te amarra,
opens its grave,abre su fosa,
comes and settles,viene y se posa,
like an invalid debt.como una deuda inválida.

Old accentAcento viejo
of the word,de la palabra,
the universe of what I feel,el universo de lo que siento,
makes a tragic grimace.te hace una mueca trágica.

The night is the second homelandSegunda patria la noche
closed with a golden clasp that dream,cerró con broche de oro el sueño aquel,
put its darkness in the wordpuso su oscuridad en la palabra
but even so, it illuminates what is.pero así y todo, alumbra lo que es.
