Causas y Azares
Cuando pedro salió a su ventana
No sabía, mi amor, no sabía
Que la luz de esa clara mañana
Era luz de su último día.
Y las causas lo fueron cercando
Cotidianas, invisibles.
Y el azar se le iba enredando
Poderoso, invencible.
Cuando juan regresaba a su lecho
No sabía, oh alma querida
Que en la noche lluviosa y sin techo
Lo esperaba el amor de su vida.
Y las causas lo fueron cercando
Cotidianas, invisibles.
Y el azar se le iba enredando
Poderoso, invencible.
Cuando acabe este verso que canto
Yo no sé, yo no sé, madre mía
Si me espera la paz o el espanto;
Si el ahora o si el todavía.
Pues las causas me andan cercando
Cotidianas, invisibles.
Y el azar se me viene enredando
Poderoso, invencible.
Causes and Hazards
When Pedro went out to his window
He didn't know, my love, he didn't know
That the light of that clear morning
Was the light of his last day.
And the causes were closing in on him
Everyday, invisible.
And chance was entangling him
Powerful, invincible.
When Juan returned to his bed
He didn't know, oh beloved soul
That in the rainy and roofless night
The love of his life awaited him.
And the causes were closing in on him
Everyday, invisible.
And chance was entangling him
Powerful, invincible.
When this verse I sing ends
I don't know, I don't know, my mother
If peace or terror awaits me;
If the now or the still.
For the causes are closing in on me
Everyday, invisible.
And chance is entangling me
Powerful, invincible.
