Mientras Dormías

While You Were Sleeping

Mientras Dormías

She is asleepElla está dormida
And I go out to the balcony to smoke secretlyY yo me salgo pal balcón a fumar a escondidas
And to pray my humble prayer of love and lifeY a rezar mi humilde oración de amor y de vida
Burning cotton pollen as inspiration for suicidal heartQuemando un polen de algodón que sirve de inspiración pal corazón suicida

She is asleep, and in her dream there is a heart that driftsElla está dormida, y en su sueño hay un corazón que va a la deriva
And in his mouth there is a song that speaks of lifeY en su boca hay una canción que habla de la vida
And flowers grow in her hair while the moon in the sky looks like a woundY crecen flores en su pelo mientras la luna en el cielo parece una herida
And she is asleep, and no one knows what dream Scheherazade is dreaming ofY ella está dormida, y nadie sabe con el sueño con que sueña Sherezada

If he wears a crown of Jade on his eyesSi lleva sobre sus ojos una corona de Jade
That the dawn will melt when the night is overQue se derretirá el alba cuando la noche se acabe
But nowPero ahora
She's sleeping and I'm smoking a jointElla duerme y yo fumándome un leño
And the world becomes so smallY el mundo se vuelve tan pequeño
I like you so free and without an owner: You sleep, I dreamMe gustas así libre y sin dueño: Tú duermes, yo sueño

And if you open your eyes without fear, you invent the world againY si abres los ojos sin miedo, inventas el mundo de nuevo
And if you open your eyes without fear, you invent the world againY si abres los ojos sin miedo, inventas el mundo de nuevo

With the words that were thrown on the mattressCon las palabras que había tiradas sobre el colchón
And the stars that I stole from the night like a thiefY las estrellas que robé a la noche como un ladrón
I went out to the balconyHe salido al balcón
And I wrote you a songY te he escrito una canción
While you were sleeping!¡Mientras dormías!
While you were sleeping!¡Mientras dormías!

With the words that were thrown on the mattressCon las palabras que había tiradas sobre el colchón
And the stars that I stole from the night like a thiefY las estrellas que robé a la noche como un ladrón
I saw the sunrise, and I made you a coffeeHe visto amanecer, y te preparó un café
While you were sleeping!¡Mientras dormías!
While you were sleeping!¡Mientras dormías!
