Solamente por oír
la campana de la Vela
te puse una corona de verbena.
Granada era una luna
ahogada entre las yedras.
Solamente por oír
la campana de la Vela
desgarré mi jardín de Cartagena.
Granada era una corza
rosa por las veletas.
Solamente por oír
la campana de la Vela
me abrasaba en tu cuerpo
sin saber de quién eres.
TRANSLATION.
GAZELLE OF THE LOVE THAT WON'T BE SEEN
Just because I heard the Watchtower bell I crowned you Queen of the fête. |
Granada was a moon drowning in the ivy.
|
Just because I heard the Watchtower bell I laid my garden of Cartagena to waste. |
Granada was a roe deer, rose-coloured among the weather vanes. |
Just because I heard the Watchtower bell I scorched myself on your body not knowing who you belonged to. |
