My love, she speaks like silence My love, she speaks like silence Mi amor se expresa como el silencio, Without ideals or violence Without ideals or violence Sin ideales ni violencia, She doesn't have to say she's faithful She doesn't have to say she's faithful No tiene que decir que es fiel, Yet she's true like ice, like fire Yet she's true like ice, like fire Sin embargo es autentica, como el hielo, como el fuego. People carry roses People carry roses La gente lleva rosas, And make promises by the hour And make promises by the hour Hace promesas a todas horas, My love she laughs like the flowers My love she laughs like the flowers Mi amor se ríe como las flores, Valentines can't buy her Valentines can't buy her Los regalos del día de San Valentín no pueden comprarla. In the dime stores and bus stations In the dime stores and bus stations En las tiendas de todo a cien y en las paradas de autobús, People talk of situations People talk of situations La gente habla de la situación, Read books, repeat quotations Read books, repeat quotations Lee libros, repite citas, Draw conclusions on the wall Draw conclusions on the wall Pinta conclusiones en los muros. Some speak of the future Some speak of the future Algunos hablan del futuro, My love, she speaks softly My love, she speaks softly Mi amor habla dulcemente, She knows there's no success like failure She knows there's no success like failure Sabe que no hay éxito como el fracaso And that failure's no success at all And that failure's no success at all Y que el fracaso tampoco es un éxito. The cloak and dagger dangles The cloak and dagger dangles La capa y el puñal cuelgan, Madams light the candles Madams light the candles Las señoras encienden las velas. In ceremonies of the horsemen In ceremonies of the horsemen En las ceremonias de los jinetes, Even the pawn must hold a grudge Even the pawn must hold a grudge Incluso el peón debe guardar rencor. Statues made of matchsticks Statues made of matchsticks Estatuas de palos de cerilla, Crumble into one another Crumble into one another Se desmoronan unas sobre otras, My love winks she does not bother My love winks she does not bother Mi amor guiña el ojo, le trae sin cuidado, She knows too much to argue or to judge She knows too much to argue or to judge Sabe demasiado para discutir o juzgar. The bridge at midnight trembles The bridge at midnight trembles El puente tiembla a medianoche, The country doctor rambles The country doctor rambles El médico rural divaga Bankers' nieces seek perfection Bankers' nieces seek perfection Las sobrinas de los banqueros buscan la perfección, Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring Esperando los regalos de los hombres sabios, The wind howls like a hammer The wind howls like a hammer El viento aúlla como un martillo, The night wind blows cold n' rainy The night wind blows cold n' rainy La noche corre fría y lluviosa, My love, she's like some raven My love, she's like some raven Mi amor es como un cuervo At my window with a broken wing At my window with a broken wing Posado en mi ventana con un ala rota.
