Venas Abiertas (original)Venas Abiertas (translation)
Por la blanda arena que lame el mar By the soft sand that the sea laps
Su pequeña huella no vuelve más His little trace of her does not come back anymore
Y un sendero solo de pena y silencio llegó And a path only of sorrow and silence came
Hasta el agua profunda to the deep water
Y un sendero solo de penas puras llegó And a path only of pure sorrows came
Hasta la espuma up to the foam
Sabe Dios que angustia te acompañó God knows what anguish accompanied you
Qué dolores viejos calló tu voz What old pains your voice silenced
Para recostarte arrullada en el canto To lie down lulled in the song
De las caracolas marinas Of the sea shells
La canción que canta en el fondo oscuro del mar The song that sings in the dark bottom of the sea
La caracola the conch
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad You leave Alfonsina with your loneliness
¿qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar? What new poems did you go to look for?
Y una voz antigua de viento y de mar And an ancient voice of wind and sea
Te requiebra el alma it requires your soul
Y la está llamando And she's calling her
Y te vas, hacia allá como en sueños And you go, there as in dreams
Dormida Alfonsina, vestida de mar Alfonsina asleep, dressed as a sea
Cinco sirenitas te llevarán Five little mermaids will take you
Por caminos de algas y de coral Along paths of algae and coral
Y fosforescentes caballos marinos harán And phosphorescent seahorses will do
Una ronda a tu lado A round by your side
Y los habitantes del agua van a nadar pronto a tu lado And the inhabitants of the water will soon swim by your side
Bájame la lámpara un poco más Lower the lamp for me a little more
Déjame que duerma, nodriza en paz Let me sleep, nurse in peace
Y si llama él no le digas que estoy And if she calls him, don't tell him I'm here
Dile que Alfonsina no vuelve Tell him that Alfonsina is not coming back
Y si llama él no le digas nunca que estoy And if he calls, never tell him I'm here
Di que me he ido Say I'm gone
Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad You leave Alfonsina with your loneliness
¿qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar? What new poems did you go to look for?
Y una voz antigua de viento y de mar And an ancient voice of wind and sea
Te requiebra el alma it requires your soul
Y la está llamando And he is calling her
Y te vas, hacia allá como en sueños And you go, there as in dreams
Dormida Alfonsina, vestida de marAlfonsina asleep, dressed as a sea
