Description
The tone of the song is both lyrical and tragic. The lyrical hero addresses a child (perhaps himself as a child or his son), trying to comfort him: “Amor no llores” - “My love, don't cry.” But through the lines, one can sense a great deal of pain, guilt, and hope that one day all of this will be understood and overcome.
Lyrics and translation
Original
¿Cómo estarán en la ensenada el viejo ceibal
Los jazmineros y orquídeas en flor?
Donde cantó dulcemente el zorzal
Quiero volver a contemplarme en tus ojos, cambá
Y que me beses como te besé
Bajo la sombra del jacarandá
Niño, apoyate en mis recuerdos
Intentá dormir en paz
Siento el peso en tu conciencia por el llanto de mamá
Vi que el miedo al abandono no te deja respirar
Siento el nudo de tu panza cuando te hablan de papá
Niño, haz las paces con la vida
No es de piedra el pastizal
La nostalgia de tu antes no te deja caminar
¿Quién mató tu sonrisita de ilusión y de bondad?
Sé que te querés dormir pa no volver a despertar
Amor, no llores
Veo luz en tus males
Siguiéndote el corazón
Bailando en un canto de zorzales
Niño, soy un hombre con tristeza
Sé del peso en tu verdad
Escaparte por robar porque robás para cenar
Vi tus dedos en el barro con olor a libertad
Sé que te querés dormir pa no volver a despertar
Por el mundo vas de pillo
Con alma de caramelo
Vi la vida en tus nudillos
Y su odio en tus hoyuelos
Le rezaste a unos amigos
Pues no todos van al cielo
Pero vos sos un grial
Amor, no llores
Veo luz en tus males
Siguiéndote el corazón
Bailando en un canto de zorzales
Amor, no llores
Veo luz en tus males
Siguiéndote el corazón
Hijo, me robaron tus ojitos
Los momentos que perdí
Pedí tiempo a mi destino, y dijo: "Hoy te toca a ti"
Sé que un día serás grande, sé que un día entenderás
Los consejos de tu viejo, estoy descansando en paz
English translation
How will old Ceibal be in the cove?
Jasmine trees and orchids in bloom?
Where the thrush sang sweetly
I want to look at myself in your eyes again, change
And kiss me like I kissed you
Under the shadow of the jacaranda
Child, lean on my memories
Try to sleep in peace
I feel the weight on your conscience for mom's crying
I saw that the fear of abandonment doesn't let you breathe
I feel the knot in your belly when they talk to you about dad
Boy, make peace with life
The grassland is not made of stone
The nostalgia of your before does not let you walk
Who killed your smile of hope and kindness?
I know you want to go to sleep so you don't wake up again.
Love, don't cry
I see light in your evils
following your heart
Dancing in a song of thrushes
Boy, I'm a man with sadness
I know the weight in your truth
Escape for stealing because you steal for dinner
I saw your fingers in the mud with the smell of freedom
I know you want to go to sleep so you don't wake up again.
Through the world you go rogue
With a candy soul
I saw life on your knuckles
And his hate in your dimples
You prayed to some friends
Well not everyone goes to heaven
But you are a grail
Love, don't cry
I see light in your evils
following your heart
Dancing in a song of thrushes
Love, don't cry
I see light in your evils
following your heart
Son, they stole your eyes from me
The moments that I lost
I asked my destiny for time, and he said: "Today it's your turn"
I know that one day you will be great, I know that one day you will understand
Your old man's advice, I'm resting in peace
