La primavera se demora tanto
Spring takes so long to arrive
Que voy a olvidar que estuvo ayer
That I'll forget it was here yesterday
Cuando regrese su emoción de árbol
When its tree-like emotions return
No me acordaré de florecer
I won't remember how to blossom
Confundiré tus senos con su trino
I'll confuse your breasts with their song
Y en vez de cantar te besaré
And instead of singing, I'll kiss you
Tu cuerpo me parecerá un suicidio
Your body will feel like a suicide
Y de fecundarlo moriré
And from fertilizing it, I'll die
Jamás sabré si soy dichoso
I'll never know if I'm happy
Si maravilloso o si terrible
If I'm wonderful or if I'm terrible
Y no sabré lo que termina
And I won't know what comes to an end
O recién camina, o lo imposible
Either just walks, or the impossible
Esta primavera
This springtime
Puede hacerme enloquecer
Can drive me to madness
