Anoche

Tom Verlaine

Last Night

Last night a moon came out
She replaced my eyes
She said your plans undermined you
Until the shadow rings the bell
You'll only see behind you

She took her jewel
She left the kingdom
Though many say she was thrown out
Her tongue it's bitter
Her lips are sweet
There's so much she won't talk about

I went upon
This field of crosses
How I wish
I could change my vote
But there's no one there
There were no losses
Not when the fever broke

The whole wide world
Was your medallion
The stars like a necklace
So bright
I never looked
I never noticed I never saw
It was night

Anoche

Anoche salió la luna
Reemplazó mis ojos
Dijo que tus planes te perjudicaron
Hasta que la sombra toque la campana
Solo verás detrás de ti

Tomó su joya
Dejó el reino
Aunque muchos dicen que la echaron
Su lengua es amarga
Sus labios son dulces
Hay tanto de lo que no hablará

Caminé por
Este campo de cruces
Cómo desearía
Poder cambiar mi voto
Pero no hay nadie allí
No hubo pérdidas
No cuando la fiebre se rompió

El mundo entero
Era tu medallón
Las estrellas como un collar
Tan brillante
Nunca miré
Nunca noté, nunca vi
Era de noche
