Paul Simon - Sunday afternoon Spanish translation lyrics

Your rating:

Domingo por la tarde

Salvador
La luz solar de la tarde
Se dobla alrededor de nosotros
Los platos estan lavados
Los edificios aqui
Son tan altos como nuestras monta~nas
Cortan a traves de la ventana
Y inhiben al sol

En estos dias veo que echo de menos a Puerto Rico
Aunque nunca volveria hasta que estes libre
Pero cuando escucho el aguinaldo
Mi corazon se alivia
Y bailamos juntos Aurea y yo

En vida era infeliz con dos maridos
A Gumersindo le gustaban el ron y sus amigas
Despues este hipocrita que te pegaba
Y predicaba de remision
Se ha ido y asi termina otro domingo

Y ma~nana es otro lunes de trabajo duro
Siguo esperando la promocion que me prometieron
Hay un puesto de operador
Por el que no tendria que esperar
Si hablara la lengua con fluidez

Pero digo a Aurea
Las fronteras del barrio
Son nuestra propia peque~na nacion
A veces te oigo corriendo por arriba
Y miro a mi luz
Con resignacion
Llevate tu biblia contigo
El tiempo es un oceano de infinitas lagrimas

Sunday afternoon

ESMERALDA
Salvador, the afternoon sunlight is folding around us,
The dishes are done,
The buildings here, tall as our mountains
Slice through the windows and cut off the sun.
On such days I find I am longing for Puerto Rico
Though I never would return 'til you are free
But when I hear the Aguinaldo my heart's a little lighter
And we dance together Aurea and me
In my life I've been unlucky with two husbands
Gumersindo liked his rum and women friends
Then that hypocrite who beat you and preached about repentance
Has gone, and so another Sunday ends
And tomorrow is another hard working Monday
I'm still hoping for the raise they promised me
There's a job as operator
I would not have to wait for
If I could speak the language easily
But I tell Aurea:
The barrio's boundaries are our own little nation
Sometimes I hear you run upstairs
And I view my light with resignation
Keep your bible near you
Time is an ocean of endless tears.

Mmm. . .
