Como El Roble En El Verano
Violeta Parra
Like the Oak in Summer
Last night it came down from the sky
The brightest star around,
The glow it brought with it
Suddenly lit me up,
The glow it brought with it
Suddenly lit me up.
Between its lips, shining white
Like snow, its teeth so bright,
When its sweet smile appeared
Right there in front of me,
When its sweet smile appeared
Right there in front of me.
I’m greeted by the lush
Caress of its gaze,
Like thousands of bright stars,
They filled my senses,
Like thousands of bright stars
They filled my senses.
I forgot all the sorrows
That once brought me down
And I welcome the fickle
With my best affection,
And I welcome the fickle
With my best affection.
When it sings, it seems to me
The wisest of the wise,
Its figure grows larger
Like the oak in summer,
Its figure grows larger
Like the oak in summer.
