Rapsodia en La Mayor (para Elena)

Rhapsody in A Major (for Elena)

Rapsodia en La Mayor (para Elena)

With a gentle tone, she told me to take a seatCon delicado acento me dijo que tomara asiento
To stay alert, and then she sat at the pianoQue me quedara atento y al piano se sentó
She looks at me for a moment, back straight and silentMe mira en un fragmento, espalda recta y en silencio
She played in one breath, Rhapsody in A majorTocó de un solo aliento Rapsodia en La mayor

Look deep inside and calmMira muy dentro y en calma
Her hands seem to touch my soulParecen sus manos tocándome el alma
That cry outQue claman
Look at her long legsMira sus piernas tan largas
They seem like two notes on the staffParecen dos notas en el pentagrama
That leapQue saltan

She is so happyElla es tan feliz
She doesn't know warNo conoce la guerra
She lives like thisElla vive así
Dancing among the stonesBailando entre las piedras
She is so happyElla es tan feliz
She doesn't know sorrowNo conoce la pena
She lives like thisElla vive así
And makes the earth spinY hace girar latierra

But I have a questionMais j'ai une question
Do you think I have long legs?Vous vous croyez que j'ai les jambes longues?

With a gentle toneCon delicado acento
She asked, and what about the country?Me dijo y el país qué cuento
Why is everything so bloody?Por qué todo tan cruento
Common sense, pleaseCordura por favor
She's already shown her clawsYa ha mostrado la garra
Posture, height, and argumentPostura, altura y argumento
Now she plays on the guitarYa toca en la guitarra
The blues and rock 'n' rollEl blues y el rock 'n' roll

Look deep inside and calmMira muy dentro y en calma
Her hands seem to touch my soulParecen sus manos tocándome el alma
That cry outQue claman
Look at her long legsMira sus piernas tan largas
They seem like two notes on the staffParecen dos notas en el pentagrama
That leapQue saltan

She is so happyElla es tan feliz
She doesn't know warNo conoce la guerra
She lives like thisElla vive así
Dancing among the stonesBailando entre las piedras
