Lyrics
Puentecito escondido
Entre follajes y entre añoranzas
Puentecito tendido
Sobre la herida
De una quebrada
Retoña el pensamiento
Tus maderas
Se aferra el corazon
A tus balaustres
Puentecito dormido
Y entre murmullos
En la querencia
Abrazado a recuerdos
Barrancos y escalinatas
Puente de los suspiros
Quiero que guardes
En tu grato silencio
Mi confidencia
Es mi puente un poeta
Que me espera
Con su quieta madera
Cada tarde
Y suspira y suspiro
Me recibe y le dejo
Solo sobre su herida
Su quebrada
Y las viejas consejas
Van cantando
De la injusta distancia
Del amante
Sus arrestos vencidos
Vencidos por los ficus
De enterradas raices
En su amada
Es mi puente un poeta
Que me espera
Con su quieta madera
Cada tarde
Y suspira y suspiro
Me recibe y le dejo
Solo sobre su herida
Su quebrada
Y las viejas consejas
Van contando
De la injusta distancia
Del amante
Sus arrestos vencidos
Vencidos por los ficus
De enterradas raices
En su amada
Puentecito dormido …
Lyrics translation
Hidden bridge
Between foliage and longing
Stretch bridge
About the wound
From a creek
Shoot the thought
Your Woods
He clings to the heart
To your balusters
Sleeping bridge
And between murmurs
In the querencia
Embraced memories
Ravines and steps
Bridge of Sighs
I want you to keep
In your pleasant silence
My confidence
My bridge is a poet
What awaits me
With its quiet wood
Every afternoon
And sigh and sigh
He receives me and I leave him
Just about his wound.
Your Creek
And the old councils
They're singing
From the unjust distance
Of the lover
Your lapsed arrests
Defeated by the ficuses
Of buried roots
In his beloved
My bridge is a poet
What awaits me
With its quiet wood
Every afternoon
And sigh and sigh
He receives me and I leave him
Just about his wound.
Your Creek
And the old councils
They're counting
From the unjust distance
Of the lover
Your lapsed arrests
Defeated by the ficuses
Of buried roots
In his beloved
Sleeping bridge …
