Las Estatuas(original) |
Cuando llueve me dan no sé qué |
Las estatuas |
Nunca pueden salir en pareja |
Con paraguas |
Y se quedan como en penitencia |
Solitarias |
Señalando la fatalidad |
En las plazas |
Miran serias pasar cochecitos |
Y mucamas |
No se ríen porque no tuvieron |
Nunca infancia |
Marionetas |
Grandes, quietas |
Con ellas no juega nadie |
Pero si una sombra mala |
Para siempre las borrase |
Qué dolor caería |
Sobre Buenos Aires |
Cuando llueve y me voy a dormir |
Las estatuas |
Velan pálidas hasta que llegue |
La mañana |
Y del sueño de los pajaritos |
Son guardianas |
Su memoria procuran decir |
Sin palabras |
Y nos piden la poca limosna |
De mirarlas |
Cuando quieren contarnos un cuento |
De la Patria |
(translation) |
When it rains they give me I don't know what |
The statues |
They can never date |
with umbrella |
And they stay as in penance |
lonely |
Pointing to doom |
in the squares |
They look serious passing strollers |
and maids |
They don't laugh because they didn't have |
never childhood |
puppets |
big, quiet |
Nobody plays with them |
But if a bad shadow |
I will erase them forever |
What pain would fall |
About Buenos Aires |
When it rains and I go to sleep |
The statues |
They watch pale until I arrive |
The morning |
And from the dream of the little birds |
They are guardians |
Your memory seek to tell |
Speechless |
And they ask us for the little alms |
to look at them |
When they want to tell us a story |
Of the homeland |
