Era en Abril

It was in April

Era en Abril

Do you know, brother, how sad I am?¿Sabés hermano lo triste que estoy?
My voice has become a flight of trills and blood,Se me ha hecho vuelo de trinos y sangre la voz,
My best dream has shattered:Se me ha hecho pedazos mi sueño mejor:
My child has died, my child, my child,Se ha muerto mi niño, mi niño, mi niño,
My child, brother.Mi niño, hermano.

The mouth couldn't fill with words,No pudo llenarse la boca de voz,
Just empty the belly of my sweet love.Apenas vacio el vientre de mi dulce amor.
Enormous and blue, life was given to him.Enorme y azul la vida se le dió.
He couldn't take it, he couldn't take it,No pudo tomarla, no pudo tomarla,
So small.de tan pequeño.

I had made him a white songYo le habia hecho una blanca cancion
Of love between a cloud and a flying fish.Del amor entre una nube y un pez volador.
I dreamed of him running, wrapped in sweat,Lo soñé corriendo abrigado en sudor,
With full cheeks, full cheeks,Con las mejillas llenas, las mejillas llenas,
Of sun and sweetness.de sol y dulzor.

It was in April, the warm rhythmEra en abril el ritmo tibio
Of my little one dancingDe mi chiquito que danzaba
Inside the womb, a meadow in bloom.Dentro del vientre, un prado en flor
It was his bed and the belly button, the belly button,Era su lecho y el ombligo y el ombligo,
The belly button, the sun.El ombligo el sol.

Don't look for the best way, brother,No busques hermano el camino mejor,
For my soul is already silent in asking God.Que ya tengo el alma muda de pedirle a Dios.
What do we do now, my sweetness and I?¿Qué hacemos ahora mi dulzura y yo?
With breasts full, with breasts fullCon los pechos llenos, con los pechos llenos
Of milk and pain.De leche y dolor.

We are thinking, it would be betterEstamos pensando, sería mejor
To march the three,El marchar los tres,
To march the three,El marchar los tres,
Than to stay just two.Que quedarnos dos.
