Leopoldo Silencio

Leopoldo Silence

Leopoldo Silencio

Where the water from the stream is bornAdonde nace el agua de la quebrada
Leopoldo gathers absences from sunrise to sunsetLeopoldo junta ausencias de Sol a Sol
Sweats without loves, salty verseSudores sin amores copla salada
Aged his eyes and his illusionLe envejeció los ojos y la ilusión
Leopoldo has clouds in his hatLeopoldo tiene nubes en el sombrero
And the highlands hurry his heartY la Puna le apura su corazón

If the moon shines on him under the eavesSi la Luna lo alumbra bajo el alero
His tiredness throws him on a mattressSu cansancio lo tira sobre un jergón
And a dream of bleats and tinklingY un sueño de balidos y tintineos
Wraps him like the smoke from his hearthLo envuelve como el humo de su fogón

Who can hear the silences he keepsQuien podrá escuchar los silencios que guarda
And understand so many moons of absences in his soulY entender tantas lunas de ausencias en su alma

Leopoldo has clouds in his hatLeopoldo tiene nubes en el sombrero
And the highlands hurry his heartY la Puna le apura su corazón
And the highlands hurry his heart!¡Y la Puna le apura su corazón!
