Paul Simon - Sunday Afternoon
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 friendsPaul Simon - Sunday Afternoon - http://motolyrics.com/paul-simon/sunday-afternoon-lyrics-spanish-translation.html
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
Paul Simon - Domingo por la tarde (Spanish translation)
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 pegabaPaul Simon - Sunday Afternoon - http://motolyrics.com/paul-simon/sunday-afternoon-lyrics-spanish-translation.html
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
