Translation of the song El tuerto y los ciegos artist Mercedes Sosa

Desnuda de frío y hermosa como ayer,

Naked from cold and beautiful like yesterday

tan exacta como dos y dos son tres,

as exact as two and two are three

ella llegó a mí y apenas la pude ver,

she came to me and I could barely see her

aprendí a disimular mi estupidez.

I learned to hide my stupidity.

Bienvenida Cassandra,

Welcome, Cassandra

bienvenida el sol y mi niñez,

welcome sun and my childhood

sigue y sigue bailando alrededor,

keeps and keeps dancing around

aunque siempre seamos pocos

even if we who can see you

los que aún te podamos ver.

will always be just a few.

Les contaste un cuento

You told them a story

sabiéndolo contar,

knowing how to tell it

y creyeron que tu alma andaba mal.

and they thought your soul was doing badly.

La mediocridad para algunos es normal,

Mediocrity is normal for some

la locura es poder ver más allá.

madness is being able to look beyond.

Baila y baila, Cassandra,

Dance and dance, Cassandra,

digo bien, bien, bien la pude ver

I say, I could see her clearly, clearly, clearly

No hablo yo de fantasmas ni de Dios,

I'm not talking about ghosts or God

sólo te cuento las cosas

I'm just telling you the things

que se te suelen perder.

that usually are lost on you.

Se te suelen perder

They usually are lost on you.
