El polvo y el tiempo acumulados
The dust and time accumulated
Sobre tu esperanza, se olvidaron de ser
Forgot to be upon your hope
Se han ido fugando de tus ojos
They have escaped from your eyes
Dándole el sitio luces
Giving the right space to lights
Propias de una mujer
Belonging to a woman
Por eso tu sonrisa ha cambiado
That's why your smile has changed
Algo en este invierno
Something in this winter
Que ya no pasará
That will not pass anymore
Sin luz
Without light
Como todos los inviernos
Like all winters
Tenaz
Tenacious
Como todos los inviernos
Like every winter
Feroz
Fierce
Como todos los inviernos
Like every winter
Estás desafiando a la ciudad
You're defying the city
Aquella señora que hace bien el café
That lady who makes good coffee
Al manso marido que despierta a las seis
To the gentle husband who wakes up at six
Y al tonto reloj del Rey
And to the foolish king's clock
No sabes cuanto de subversivo
You don't know how subversive
Vive en una sonrisa
Lives in a smile
Que no quiere comprar
That doesn't want to buy
Y cuánto de muerte hacia el pasado
And how much death towards the past
Que se incrusta en los dedos
That embeds itself in the fingers
Cual resto de humedad
Like a remnant of moisture
La historia
The story
Choca contra tu saya
Collides against your skirt
Y se hacen remolinos
And they create whirlwinds
Que huyen del amor
That flee from love
Como se dice que huyen los demonios
As it is said that demons flee
De las estancias crueles para el odio
From the cruel rooms of hatred
Bendita está tu risa, amén
Blessed be your smile, amen
