La Niña Que LLora En Tus Fiestas

• 歌手: La Oreja de Van Gogh

歌詞:

[Español]

[English]

Vuela un columpio vacío sobre mi cabeza

An empty swing flies above my head

...

...

Vuela por el cementerio de mi voluntad

It flies through the cemetery of my will

...

I keep searching for the girl who cries at your parties

Sigo buscando la niña que llora en tus fiestas

Sigo buscando la niña que llora en tus fiestas

Suenan campanas en flor por mi funeral

Bells ring in bloom for my funeral

Mírame

Look at me

Con la estrella polar a mis pies

With the North Star at my feet

Vuelvo a casa perdida, otra vez

I return home lost, once again

Porque no sé dejar de adorarte

Because I can't stop adoring you

Mírame

Look at me

...

...

Vuela un columpio vacío rozando la arena

An empty swing flies brushing the sand

...

...

Deja las huellas del ángel caído al pasar

Leaving the traces of the fallen angel as it passes

Huellas que siempre me llevan a ti, quita penas

Traces that always lead me to you, take away my sorrows

Como la dosis de vida fugaz que me diste a probar

Like the dose of fleeting life you made me taste

Mírame

Look at me

Con la estrella polar a mis pies

With the North Star at my feet

Vuelvo a casa perdida, otra vez

I return home lost, once again

Porque no sé dejar de adorarte

Because I can't stop adoring you

Pienso en ti

I think of you

Cada vez que me alejo de mí

Every time I drift away from myself

Cada vez que prefiero morir

Every time I prefer to die

Desde el día en que tú me dijiste "Tu carita es una rosa sin abrir"

Since the day you told me "Your little face is a rose yet to bloom"

Mírame

Look at me

Con la estrella polar a mis pies

With the North Star at my feet

Vuelvo a casa perdida, otra vez

I return home lost, once again

Porque no sé dejar de adorarte

Because I can't stop adoring you

Pienso en mí

I think of myself

Cada vez que me miras así

Every time you look at me like that

Se me cosen los labios a ti

My lips are sewn to you

Y la luna me pinta los ojos

And the moon paints my eyes

Mírame

Look at me

Cada vez que te vas, pienso en ti

Every time you leave, I think of you

Cada vez que prefiero morir

Every time I prefer to die

Cada vez que me besas así

Every time you kiss me like that

Cada vez que te vas, mírame

Every time you leave, look at me

...

文法:

• Vuela un columpio vacío sobre mi cabeza

  ➔ Word order variation (subject after verb)

  ➔ Normally it would be 'Un columpio vacío vuela sobre mi cabeza.' The inversion emphasizes 'Vuela' creating a more poetic effect.

• Sigo buscando la niña que llora en tus fiestas

  ➔ Gerundio usage: “Sigo + gerundio” to express continuous action.

  ➔ 'Sigo buscando' means 'I keep looking'. 'Sigo' + gerund implies the action is ongoing.

• Suenan campanas en flor por mi funeral

  ➔ Preposition 'por' indicating reason/cause

  ➔ The bells are ringing *because of* or *for* the funeral. 'Por' connects the sound to the reason for it.

• Mírame Con la estrella polar a mis pies

  ➔ Imperative mood ('Mírame')

  ➔ 'Mírame' is a direct command, 'Look at me.' It is used to express an order or request.

• Vuelvo a casa perdida, otra vez

  ➔ Adjective as complement of the verb (estar/volver)

  ➔ 'Perdida' describes the subject 'yo' (implied). It explains the state or condition of the subject upon returning home. Because 'volver' has been used here, it reflects the speaker's state not being in the right state to return home.

• Porque no sé dejar de adorarte

  ➔ Verb + 'de' + infinitive (dejar de)

  ➔ 'Dejar de' + infinitive means 'to stop doing something'. 'No sé dejar de adorarte' means 'I can't stop adoring you'.

• Cada vez que me alejo de mí

  ➔ Reflexive pronoun to indicate a personal action (alejarse de sí mismo)

  ➔ 'Alejar' requires the reflexive pronoun 'me' because the action is done to oneself. It means 'Every time I distance myself from myself'.

• Desde el día en que tú me dijiste "Tu carita es una rosa sin abrir"

  ➔ Use of 'desde' + time expression + 'en que' to indicate a point in time.

  ➔ 'Desde el día en que...' specifies a particular day as the starting point for something. In English, this translates to 'Since the day that...'

• Se me cosen los labios a ti

  ➔ Passive reflexive construction to express an involuntary action

  ➔ The literal translation is 'My lips are sewn to you.' The 'se' indicates it's happening to the subject unwillingly. The subject 'los labios' aren't sewing themselves. Thus indicating a lack of control/passive nature
