Lyrics

Silvio Rodriguez - Te Doy Una Canción

Como gasto papeles recordándote
como me haces hablar en el silencio
como no te me quitas de las ganas
aunque nadie me ve nunca contigo
y como pasa el tiempo que de pronto son años
sin pasar tú por mi, detenida

Te doy una canción
si abro una puerta
y de las sombras sales tú,
te doy una canción de madrugada
cuando mas quiero tu luz,
te doy una canción
cuando apareces
el misterio del amor
y si no no apareces
no me importa
yo te doy una canción.

Si miro un poco afuera me detengo
la ciudad se derrumba
y yo cantandoSilvio Rodriguez - Te Doy Una Canción - http://motolyrics.com/silvio-rodriguez/te-doy-una-cancion-lyrics-english-translation.html
la gente que me odia y que me quiere
no me va ha perdonar
que me distraiga,
creen que lo digo todo
que me juego la vida
porque no te conocen
ni te sienten.

Te doy una canción y hago un discurso
sobre mi derecho a hablar,
te doy una canción
con mis dos manos
con las mismas de matar,
te doy una canción
y digo patria
y sigo hablando para ti,
te doy una canción
como un disparo
como un libro
una palabra
una guerrilla...
como doy el amor.

English translation

Silvio Rodriguez - I'll give you a song (English translation)

How I scribble sheets of paper remembering you
How you make me talk in the silence
How you never go away from my desires
Although nooone ever sees me with you
And how the time passes
That suddenly turns into years
Without you passing by me and stopping

I'll give you a song if I open up a door
And out of the shadows you appear
I'll give you a song at the break of dawn
When I most want your light
I'll give you a song when you seem to be
The mystery of love
And if you don't seem it
It won't matter
I'll give you this song

If I poke my head outside a little, and I freeze in my steps
The city collapses with me there singing
The people that love me and hate meSilvio Rodriguez - Te Doy Una Canción - http://motolyrics.com/silvio-rodriguez/te-doy-una-cancion-lyrics-english-translation.html
Are never going to forgive me
How they distract me!
They believe that I say it all
That I gamble my life
Because they don't know you
Nor do they feel you

I'll give you a song and I'll make a speech
About my own right to speak
I'll give you a song with my two hands
The same hands that have killed
I'll give you a song and say "Native land"
And I'll keep on speaking for you
I'll give you a song
Like a gunshot
Like a book
Like a word
Like a guerilla
Like I give my love
