Lyrics
Tomaste del cielo un puñado de estrellas Y al mundo arrojaste canciones de amor, Y triste las manos y los pies en los cardos Inspirando poemas de llanto y dolor. Tu emoción de suburbio recordó a la enfermita Que esperando a su novio una tarde murió, Y también a la otra, la costurerita Que dio aquel mal paso y nunca volvió. Fue tu alma exaltada un manojo de versos Que metida en la seda, se arrullaba el percal, Y en un ansia infinita de rumores dispersos Pregonando en la senda del bien y del mal. Y una noche sin luna, borrascosa y muy fría Te alejaste, Carriego, para nunca volver, Quedó trunca en tus labios la postrer poesía De perdón y plegaria a una mujer. La página tuya se ha aferrado a mi vida En aquella en que hablas de un camino sin luz, Es aquella en que citas muchachas vencidas Y que has elevado al perdón de Jesús.
English translation
You took from the sky a handful of stars And to the world you threw songs of love, And sad your hands and feet in the thistles Inspiring poems of weeping and pain. Your suburban emotion reminded of the sick girl Who waiting for her boyfriend one afternoon died, And also the other one, the little seamstress Who took that bad step and never came back. Was your exalted soul a bunch of verses That tucked in silk, lulled the percale, And in an infinite yearning of scattered rumors Touting in the path of good and evil. And one moonless night, stormy and very cold You went away, Carriego, never to return, Your last poem of forgiveness and prayer to a woman. Of forgiveness and prayer to a woman. The page of yours has clung to my life The one in which you speak of a path without light, It is the one in which you quote defeated girls And which you have elevated to the forgiveness of Jesus.
