Translation of the song lyrics Como Quien Mira una Espera - José Larralde

Como Quien Mira una Espera (original)

Letra de Como Quien Mira a una EsperaAyer lo vi que pasaba
Bajando el Cura malal
Esquivandole al toscal
Buscando la paja brava
Llevaba al cinto la pava
Y el de barrera en la mano
Y parecia un aeroplano
Cuando el viento le pegaba
Bajando el Cura malal
Ayer lo vi que pasaba
No le pregunte siquiera
De donde y pa' donde iba
Que ni va agastar saliva
Me dije cundo me viera
Y así fué de tal manera
No atiné ni a saludarlo
Y me dediqué a mirarlo
Como quién mira una espera
De donde y pa' donde diva
No le pregunté siquiera
No le cierre la tranquera
Al dueño del horizonte
Me dije olfateando el monte
Con resto de primavera
No le adjudique trinchera
Que naides quiere esconderse
Y alcanza con no moverse
Pa andar una vida entera
Al dueño del horizonte
No le cierre la tranquera
Anduvo buscando el cielo
Dende que era borreguito
Y vivío mascando el grito
Por el nunca de un anhelo
Pa' no remontar el vuelo
Se enredó entre la gramilla
Y es como una gran astilla
Que se mueve por el suelo
Dende que era borreguito
Anduvo buscando el cielo
De tiempo en tiempo lo veo
Subiendo o bajando el cauce
O chiflandolo al bicho feo
Horas y horas y el deseo
Que algún bagre se suicide
O alguna perdiz descuide
El rumbo de su aleteo
Subiendo o bajando el cauce
De tiempo en iempo lo veo
Ayer lo vi que pasaba
Bajando el Cura malal
Esquivandole al toscal
Buscando la paja brava
Llevaba al cinto la pava
Y el de barrera en la mano
Y parecia un aeroplano
Cuando el viento le pegaba
Bajando el Cura malal
Ayer lo vi que pasaba
Como los arroyos el hombre
Suele ser un montón de recovecos
Baja la vida con apenas un murmullo
El hombre de las nutrias sabe de eso
Por eso palpita junto al corazón del agua

Como Quien Mira una Espera (translation)

Letra de Como Who Looks at a Wait Yesterday I saw what was happening
Going down the Malal Cure
Dodging the toscal
Looking for the wild straw
He wore the kettle on his belt
And the barrier in hand
And it looked like an airplane
When the wind hit him
Going down the Malal Cure
Yesterday I saw what happened
I didn't even ask him
From where and pa 'where he was going
That he's not even going to waste his saliva
I told myself when he would see me
And so it was in such a way
I did not even manage to greet him
And I dedicated myself to looking at it
Like who watches a wait
From where and pa' where diva
I didn't even ask him
Do not close the gate
To the owner of the horizon
I told myself sniffing the mountain
With rest of spring
Do not award him a trench
What nobody wants to hide
And it's enough not to move
To walk a whole life
To the owner of the horizon
Do not close the gate
He was looking for the sky
Since he was a lamb
And I lived chewing the scream
For the never of a longing
Pa' not to fly
He got tangled up in the grass
And it's like a big splinter
that moves on the ground
Since he was a lamb
He was looking for the sky
From time to time I see it
Going up or down the channel
Or whistling at the ugly bug
Hours and hours and the desire
That some catfish commits suicide
Or some neglected partridge
The direction of its flutter
Going up or down the channel
From time to time I see it
Yesterday I saw what happened
Going down the Malal Cure
Dodging the toscal
Looking for the wild straw
He wore the kettle on his belt
And the barrier in hand
And it looked like an airplane
When the wind hit him
Going down the Malal Cure
Yesterday I saw what happened
As the man streams
He is usually a lot of nooks and crannies
Lower life with just a whisper
The otter man knows about it
That's why he beats next to the heart of the water
