Hay una canción comenzada cien veces
There's a song that's begun a hundred times
Y creo que es la imposible canción
And I think it's the impossible song
Porque cada vez que la empiezo aparece
Because every time I start it, it appears
La voz que no alcanza mi pobre razón
The voice that my poor reason can't reach
Hay una canción que se me desvanece
There's a song that fades away from me
Y deja mis labios en la tentación
And leaves my lips in temptation
Hay que vivir para ver
We must live to see
Cómo ha sabido crecer
How it's learned to grow
Tanto misterio en la flor
So much mystery in the flower
Hay que vivir para ver
We must live to see
Cuánto es difícil saber
How difficult it is to know
Qué signo lleva el amor
What sign love bears
Hay una canción que se asusta de verme
There's a song that frightens to see me
No sé lo que dice, no sé lo que ve
I don't know what it says, I don't know what it sees
Pero algo me lleva al rincón donde duerme
But something leads me to the corner where it sleeps
Y me hace velarla una y otra vez
And makes me watch over it again and again
Hay una canción que no quiere saberme
There's a song that doesn't want to know me
Aunque deja un rastro brillante a mis pies
Even though it leaves a shining trail at my feet
Hay que vivir para ver
You have to live to see
Cómo ha sabido crecer
How it has learned to grow
Tanto misterio en la flor
So much mystery in the flower
Hay que vivir para ver
You have to live to see
Cuánto es difícil saber
How hard it is to know
Qué signo lleva el amor
What sign love carries
Hay una canción que se va cuando llego
There's a song that leaves when I arrive
Sospecho se trata de un tema total
I suspect it’s about a total theme
Una ama de llaves de todos los juegos
A housekeeper of all the games
Un pájaro eterno, un sol colosal
An eternal bird, a colossal sun
Hay una canción que me esconde su fuego
There's a song that hides its fire from me
Hay una canción que será mi final
There's a song that will be my end
Hay que vivir para ver
We must live to see
Cómo ha sabido crecer
How it has learned to grow
Tanto misterio en la flor
So much mystery in the flower
Hay que vivir para ver
We must live to see
Cuánto es difícil saber
How hard it is to know
Qué signo lleva el amor
What sign love bears
Qué signo lleva el amor
What sign love bears
Qué signo lleva el amor
What sign love bears
