Pobre Gorrión

Poor Sparrow

Pobre Gorrión

The gray afternoon, your plucked wingsLa tarde gris, tus alas desplumadas
The cruel rain, wetting your headLa lluvia cruel, tu cabeza mojaba
You then looked for a place to take shelterBuscaste entonces donde refugiarte
A warm nest to warm upUn tibio nido para calentarte

And you found it, sparrow, you found itY lo encontraste, gorrión, tú lo encontraste
You sang and sang with joyCantabas y cantabas de alegría
And everyone heard your chirpingY tu trinar todo el mundo lo oía
And I happily listened with themY yo con él dichosa te escuchaba

But your happiness ended too soonMás terminó muy pronto tu ventura
A superior bird wanted youUn ave superior a ti quería
The nest you dreamed of was yoursEl nido que soñabas era tuyo
You had to flee in the cold nightDebiste huir en la noche fría

You were wrong, sparrow, you were wrongTe equivocaste gorrión, te equivocaste
The nest you dreamed of was not yoursEl nido que soñabas no era tuyo
Wait for me, I bring my luggageEspérame, ya traigo mi equipaje
I leave with you to continue the journeyParto contigo a continuar el viaje

The gray afternoon, your plucked wingsLa tarde gris, tus alas desplumadas
The cruel rain, wetting your headLa lluvia cruel, tu cabeza mojaba
You then looked for a place to take shelterBuscaste entonces donde refugiarte
A warm nest to warm upUn tibio nido para calentarte

You were wrong, sparrow, you were wrongTe equivocaste gorrión, te equivocaste
The nest you dreamed of was not yoursEl nido que soñabas no era el tuyo
Wait for me, I bring my luggageEspérame, ya traigo mi equipaje
I leave with you to continue the journeyParto contigo a continuar el viaje

I, like you, also made a mistakeYo como tú también me equivoqué
I entered a nest that was already occupiedA un nido entré que ya estaba ocupado
And like you, I also felt painY como tú también sentí dolor
I had to leave and forget that I had lovedDebí marchar y olvidar que había amado

Both wrong, both wrongEquivocados los dos, equivocados
Sparrow friend, let's start the journeyGorrión amigo iniciemos el viaje
I will give you warmth and feelingYo te daré calor y sentimiento
You will avoid the loneliness of my soulTú evitarás la soledad de mi alma

We will find a place in another nestEncontraremos lugar en otro nido
Perhaps love will join us soonQuizá el amor nos acompañe pronto
The rain will not wet your headNo mojará la lluvia tu cabeza
