Oh Melancolia(original) |
Hoy viene a m la damisela soledad |
con pamela, impertinentes y botn |
de amapola en el oleaje de sus vuelos. |
Hoy la voluble seorita es amistad |
y acaricia finalmente el corazn |
con su ms delgado ptalo de hielo. |
Por eso hoy, |
gentilmente te convido a pasear |
por el patio, hasta el florido pabelln |
de aquel rbol que plantaron los abuelos. |
Hoy el ensueo es como el musgo en el brocal, |
dibujando los abismos de un amor |
melanclico, sutil, plido cielo. |
Viene a m, avanza, |
-viene tan despacio-, |
viene en una danza |
leve del espacio. |
Cedo, me hago lacio |
y ya vuelo, ave. |
Se mece la nave |
lenta, como el tul |
en la brisa suave, |
nia del azul. |
Oh melancola, novia silenciosa, |
ntima pareja del ayer; |
Oh melancola, amante dichosa, |
siempre me arrebata tu placer; |
Oh melancola, seora del tiempo, |
beso que retorna como el mar; |
Oh melancola, rosa del aliento, |
dime quin me puede amar. |
Hoy viene a m la damisela soledad |
con pamela, impertinentes y botn |
de amapola en el oleaje de sus vuelos. |
Hoy la voluble seorita es amistad |
y acaricia finalmente el corazn |
con su ms delgado ptalo de hielo. |
Por eso hoy, |
Oh melancola, seora del tiempo, |
beso que retorna como el mar; |
Oh melancola, rosa del aliento, |
dime quin me puede amar. |
(translation) |
Today the lonely damsel comes to me |
with pamela, lorgnettes and botn |
of poppy in the waves of her flights. |
Today the fickle young lady is friendship |
and finally caresses the heart |
with its thinnest ice petal. |
That's why today |
I kindly invite you to walk |
through the courtyard, to the flowery pavilion |
of that tree that the grandparents planted. |
Today the daydream is like the moss on the curb, |
drawing the abysses of a love |
melancholic, subtle, pale sky. |
Come to me, advance, |
-comes so slowly- |
comes in a dance |
slight of space. |
I give in, I go straight |
and I'm already flying, bird. |
the ship rocks |
slow, like tulle |
in the soft breeze, |
blue girl |
Oh melancholy, silent bride, |
intimate partner of yesterday; |
O melancholy, happy lover, |
always takes your pleasure away from me; |
Oh melancholy, lady of time, |
kiss that returns like the sea; |
Oh melancholy, rose of breath, |
tell me who she can love me. |
Today the lonely damsel comes to me |
with pamela, lorgnettes and botn |
of poppy in the waves of her flights. |
Today the fickle young lady is friendship |
and finally caresses the heart |
with its thinnest ice petal. |
That's why today |
Oh melancholy, lady of time, |
kiss that returns like the sea; |
Oh melancholy, rose of breath, |
tell me who can love me |
