Lyrics of A Trasluz - Ella Es Tan Cargosa, Leon Gieco

A Trasluz (original)

Algo prendido en la luz que hace el sol al caer
Me deja solo, a trasluz
No sé que es, no lo sé
Serán esas veces que volvíamos los dos del mar
Bajo el cielo limpio de febrero
Cada vez que mirás a los ojos de la inmensidad
Te sabés efímero y pequeño
Algo prendido en la luz que da el sol al morir
Me deja solo y sin voz
No lo sé describir
Dicen que si el mundo pinta el horizonte de color
Es porque nos quiere decir algo
Intenté mil veces descifrar su grito, su canción
Jamás pude sacar nada en claro
Algo prendido en la luz que hace el sol al caer
Me deja solo, a trasluz
No sé que es, no lo sé
Serán esas veces que volvíamos los dos del mar
Bajo el cielo limpio de febrero

(translation)

Something lit in the light that the sun makes when it falls
leaves me alone, against the light
I don't know what it is, I don't know
It will be those times that we both returned from the sea
Under the clear sky of February
Every time you look into the eyes of immensity
You know you are ephemeral and small
Something lit in the light that the sun gives when dying
It leaves me alone and without a voice
I don't know how to describe it
They say that if the world paints the horizon in color
It's because he wants to tell us something
I tried a thousand times to decipher his cry of him, his song
I could never get anything clear
Something lit in the light that the sun makes when it falls
leaves me alone, against the light
I don't know what it is, I don't know
It will be those times that we both returned from the sea
Under the clear sky of February
