Translation of the song Hojas Secas artist Miguel Bosé
Hojas Secas
Dry Leaves
Un adiós en la pared, dos palabras.
A farewell on the wall, two words.
Algún día volveré, rabia amarga.
I'll come back someday, bitter rage.
No se es fiel con la razón, sí con el alma.
One's not loyal with the reason but with the soul.
Una tarde tú y yo, cuerpo a cuerpo,
An afternoon you and I, body to body,
abrazados; pienso en ti, es que tengo miedo.
embraced - I think of you, it's just that I'm afraid.
Pierdo a pulso el corazón, no te miento.
I lose my heart by beats, I'm not lying.
He esperado en el andén de tus ojos
I've waited on the platform of your eyes
y mi voz se quiebra en dos, no hay retorno.
and my voice breaks down in two, there's no return.
Llueve triste dentro de mí, me llueve otoño.
It's raining sadly inside me, autumn rains in me.
Y él vuelve al norte y busca su estrella.
And he goes back to the North and looks for his star.
Y él sueña que la alcanza y con ella muere.
And he dreams of reaching it and he dies with it.
Hojas secas que al pisar
Dry leaves that, when stepping on them,
me van contando mi soledad.
they telling me about my solitude.
El silencio viene y va,
Silence comes and goes,
trae sonidos de ciudad.
it brings city sounds.
Bebe los vientos,
He is crazy,
vientos por ella
he's crazy about her,
que ya no volverá.
who won't come back anymore.
Y él vuelve al norte y busca su estrella.
And he goes back to the North and looks for his star.
Y él sueña que la alcanza y con ella muere.
And he dreams of reaching it and he dies with it.
Hojas secas que al pisar
Dry leaves that, when stepping on them,
me van contando mi soledad.
they telling me about my solitude.
El silencio viene y va,
Silence comes and goes,
trae sonidos de ciudad.
it brings city sounds.
Bebe los vientos,
He is crazy,
vientos por ella
he's crazy about her,
que ya no volverá.
who won't come back anymore.
