Que signo lleva el amor
Silvio Rodriguez
What sign does love carry
There's a song started a hundred times
and I think it's the impossible song
because every time I start it, appears
the voice that my poor reason can't reach.
There's a song that fades away
and leaves my lips in temptation.
One must live to see
how much mystery has managed to grow
in the flower.
One must live to see
how difficult it is to know
what sign love carries.
There's a song that is scared to see me.
I don't know what it says, I don't know what it sees
but something leads me to the corner where it sleeps
and makes me watch over it again and again.
There's a song that doesn't want to know me
although it leaves a shining trail at my feet.
One must live...
There's a song that leaves when I arrive.
I suspect it's about a total theme.
A housekeeper of all games,
an eternal bird and a colossal sun.
There's a song that hides its fire from me,
there's a song that will be my end.
One must live...
