Lyrics

En la plaza vacía
nada vendía
el vendedor.
y aunque nadie compraba
no se apagaba
nunca su voz,
no se apagaba nunca su voz.
Voy a poner un mercado
entre tantos mercaderes
para vender esperanzas
y comprar amaneceres.
Para vender un día
la melodía
que hace al andar
el agua de ese río
que es como un grito
de libertad.
¿quién quiere vender conmigo
la paz de un niño durmiendo,
la tarde sobre mi madre
y el tiempo en que estoy queriendo?
Túeres el que ha pasado,
el que ha llegado,
y el que vendrá.
vende el árbol que queda
en la arboleda
de la verdad,
en la arboleda de la verdad.
Voy a ofrecer por el aire
las alas que no han volado,
y los labios que recuerdan
la boca que no han besado.
Alza cada mañana
esa campana
de tu canción,
pregonero que llevas
mil cosas nuevas
en tu pregón
mil cosas nuevas en tu pregón.
Vendo en una cesta el agua
y la nieve en una hoguera
y la sombra de tu pelo
cuando inclinas la cabeza.

Lyrics translation

In the empty square
nothing sold
seller.
and although no one bought
it didn't turn off.
never your voice,
his voice never went out.
I'll put up a market
among so many merchants
to sell hope
and buy dawns.
To sell a day
tune
what he does when he walks
the water of that river
that's like a scream
of freedom.
who wants to sell with me
the peace of a sleeping child,
the afternoon about my mother
and how long am I wanting?
Túeres the one that has passed,
the one who has arrived,
and the one who will come.
sell the remaining tree
in the Grove
of the truth,
in the grove of truth.
I'll offer by the air
the wings that have not flown,
and the lips that remember
the mouth you haven't kissed.
Rise every morning
that Bell
from your song,
you're wearing a preacher.
a thousand new things
in your speech
a thousand new things in your proclamation.
I sell in a basket the water
and snow on a bonfire
and the shade of your hair
when you tilt your head.
