Title: Minute words.
Palabras minuciosas, si te acuestas
te comunican sus preocupaciones.
Los árboles y el viento te argumentan
juntos diciéndote lo irrefutable
y hasta es posible que aparezca un grillo
que en medio del desvelo de tu noche
cante para indicarte tus errores.
Si cae un aguacero, va a decirte
cosas finas, que punzan y te dejan
el alma, ay, como un alfiletero.
Sólo abrirte a la música te salva.
Minute words, if you lie down
They communicate their concerns to you.
The trees and the wind argue with you
together telling you the irrefutable
and it's even possible that a cricket will appear
that in the middle of the sleeplessness of your night
sing to show you your mistakes.
If a downpour falls, it's going to tell you
fine things, that sting and leave you
the soul, oh, like a pincushion.
Just opening yourself to music saves you,
Thorough words, if you lie down.
communicate their concerns to you.
Trees and wind argue you
together telling you the irrefutable
and it is even possible that a cricket may appear
that in the middle of your sleepless nights
to point out your mistakes.
If a downpour comes, it's going to tell you
fine things, which pierce and leave you with
the soul, alas, like a pincushion.
Only openness to music saves you
COMMENTS:
The best translation was that of smarcat, totally correct.
