¿A Dónde Van?

Where Do They Go?

¿A Dónde Van?

Where do the words that didn't stay go?¿A dónde van las palabras que no se quedaron?
Where do the glances that once left go?¿A dónde van las miradas que un día partieron?
Perhaps they float eternallyAcaso flotan eternas
Like prisoners of a galeComo prisioneras de un ventarrón
Or they curl up in the cracksO se acurrucan entre las rendijas
Looking for warmthBuscando calor

Perhaps they roll on the glassAcaso ruedan sobre los cristales
Like raindrops that want to passCual gotas de lluvia que quieren pasar
Maybe they will never be something againAcaso nunca vuelven a ser algo
Maybe they are leavingAcaso se van

And where are they going?¿Y a dónde van?
Where are they going?¿A dónde van?

What will my old shoes become?En que estarán convertidos mis viejos zapatos
Where did so many leaves of a tree go?A dónde fueron a dar tantas hojas de un árbol
Where are the anguishes?¿Por dónde están las angustias
That from your eyes jumped for me?Que desde tus ojos saltaron por mí?
Where did my dirty words go?¿A dónde fueron mis palabras sucias
Of April blood?De sangre de abril?

Where are these bodies going right now?¿A dónde van ahora mismo estos cuerpos
That I can never stop shining?Que no puedo nunca dejar de alumbrar?
Maybe they will never be something againAcaso nunca vuelven a ser algo
Maybe they are leavingAcaso se van

And where are they going?¿Y a dónde van?
Where are they going?¿A dónde van?

Where does the common, the everyday go?¿A dónde va lo común, lo de todos los días?
Taking off your shoes at the doorEl descalzarse en la puerta
The helping handLa mano amiga
Where does the surprise go?¿A dónde va la sorpresa
Almost everyday at dusk?Casi cotidiana del atardecer?
Where does the tablecloth go?¿A dónde va el mantel de la mesa?
Yesterday's coffeeEl café de ayer

Where do the little ones go?¿A dónde van los pequeños
Terrible charms that home has?Terribles encantos que tiene el hogar?
Maybe they will never be something againAcaso nunca vuelven a ser algo
Maybe they are leavingAcaso se van

And where are they going?¿Y adónde van?
Where are they going?¿A dónde van?
And where are they going?¿Y adónde van?
Where are they going?¿A dónde van?
