Translation of the song lyrics Quedate Luna - Devendra Banhart

Quedate Luna (original)

Yo no me he tomado
Pero me voy a tomar un traguito ahora
Y se que lo que mas espero
Lo mas que se me enamora
Tres, siete, diez
Ya no me ves
Pero se aleja
Digo tu nombre
Ya sab (e)ras quien es
Soy el perro a tus pies
Que te muerde la costilla
La entreabrѓ­a y la luna se sienta en su silla
‚їQuѓ© tomas lunita y porquѓ© estas tan amarilla?
Bueno, ya estoy cansada y mis hijas ya me llaman viejita
El pelo tan seco y mi piel ya no brilla
Pero el mundo es tuyo, esta noche eres mѓ­a
Asѓ­ queў‚¬¦
Quѓ(c)date, quѓ(c)date luna
Quѓ(c)date, quѓ(c)date luna
Quѓ(c)date, quѓ(c)date luna
Quѓ(c)date, quѓ(c)date luna
Mira a dios en el aire, mira a dios en el mar
Yo te doy toda mi vida para oѓ­rte cantar
Oye a dios en el viento, prueba a dios en la piel
Dios vive afuera y adentro tambiѓ(c)n
Dѓ­melo, dѓ­melo luna
Dѓ­melo, dѓ­melo luna
Dѓ­melo, dѓ­melo luna
Dѓ­melo, dѓ­melo luna
Dѓ­melo, dѓ­melo luna
Dѓ­melo, dѓ­melo luna
Dѓ­melo, dѓ­melo luna
Dѓ­melo, dѓ­melo luna
Yo no me he tomado
Pero me voy a tomar un traguito ahora
Y se que lo que mas espero
Lo mas que se me enamora

Quedate Luna (translation)

I have not yet tasted the honeyed draught,
But now I shall lift a small cup to my lips,
And I know the thing my soul most longs for—
That which in me most swiftly awakens to love.
Three, seven, ten—
Already you vanish from my sight,
Yet your shadow drifts farther, melting away,
I murmur your name—
Already, you sense who it calls,
I am the hound curled at your feet,
Gnawing gently at your side,
Barred ribs part, and the moon takes her throne,
Tell me, little moon, what do you sip, and why is your face so wan and yellow?
Ah, I am weary now, my daughters call me ancient,
My hair brittle as straw, my skin no longer gleams,
Yet the world is yours, but tonight—you are mine.
So then...
Remain, remain, O moon,
Remain, remain, O moon,
Remain, remain, O moon,
Remain, remain, O moon,
See God adrift in the air, see God in the fathomless sea,
All my life I offer to hear your song unfurl,
Hear God in the wind, taste God on bare skin,
God dwells beyond and within, as well.
Whisper to me, whisper to me, O moon,
Whisper to me, whisper to me, O moon,
Whisper to me, whisper to me, O moon,
Whisper to me, whisper to me, O moon,
Whisper to me, whisper to me, O moon,
Whisper to me, whisper to me, O moon,
Whisper to me, whisper to me, O moon,
Whisper to me, whisper to me, O moon,
I have not yet tasted the honeyed draught,
But now I shall lift a small cup to my lips,
And I know the thing my soul most longs for—
That which in me most swiftly awakens to love.
