Una Larga Noche
Chabuca Granda
A Long Night
A long night
Wraps me up and locks me in
And overwhelms me and loses me
Zamacueca, zamacueca
A long night loses me
Why is the night so long
And hallucinated and so lonely and soulless
If it's just if it's just a long night
Zamacueca, zamacueca
It's just a long night
The night should be
Long perfumed, diaphanous dawn
And bluish, an embroidered sheet
Of whispers and loves
Or morning star
Unveiled invader
Of my closed window
Zamacueca, zamacueca
Of my closed window
My night is never a dawn
That arrives in the morning
It's just a long cornice
That turns around to nothing
Zamacueca, zamacueca
That turns around to nothing
It's just fear in my night
Slow, slow and long fear
Always slow, always inside
Inside a long night
Zamacueca, zamacueca
A long night loses me
And it's just a long night
Zamacueca, zamacueca
Of my closed window
That turns around to nothing
Zamacueca, zamacueca
Inside a long night
Inside a long night
Zamacueca, zamacueca
Inside a long night
