El Sol No Dá de Beber
Silvio Rodriguez
The Sun Doesn't Give to Drink
In the warm shelter of two fourteen
My love song was getting undressed
The indiscreet and clumsy day arrived
And beauty made us poorer
More slaves to the ticking of the clock
So the few moments passed by
So happiness slipped away
Always fleeing from others' gazes
Weaving a crazy universe
Of caresses, doubts, and complicity
Take everything from me, drink it all down
We need to fast at the break of dawn
Take everything from me and even more
We have to wait for a long no of clarity
Take from me everything that can be
The Sun doesn't give to drink
To the sad, ill-fated loves
Condemned for their rebellion
One day I’ll give my friend song
And I’ll mix my wine with theirs
Without losing sleep over the excommunication
And to whoever wants to burn my verses
Claiming some ancient paper
I’ll tell the story of this adverse Sun
That cries throughout the universe
Waiting for the day it can shine
Take everything from me, drink it all down
We need to fast at the break of dawn
Take everything from me and even more
We have to wait for a long no of clarity
Take from me everything that can be
The Sun doesn't give to drink
Take everything from me, drink it all down
We need to fast at the break of dawn
Take everything from me and even more
We have to wait for a long no of clarity
Take from me everything that can be
The Sun doesn't give to drink
Take everything from me, drink it all down
We need to fast at the break of dawn
Take everything from me and even more
We have to wait for a long no of clarity
Take from me everything that can be
The Sun doesn't give to drink
