Volver a los diecisiete después de vivir un siglo
Back to seventeen after living a century
Es como descifrar signos sin ser sabio competente
It's like deciphering signs without being competent wise
Volver a ser de repente tan frágil como un segundo
To suddenly be as fragile as a second
Volver a sentir profundo como un niño frente a dios
To feel deep again as a child in front of God
Eso es lo que siento yo en este instante fecundo
That is what I feel in this fertile moment
Se va enredando enredando, como en el muro la hiedra
It gets entangled, entangled, like the ivy on the wall
Y va brotando, brotando como el musguito en la piedra
And it sprouts, sprouting like the moss on the stone
Como el musguito en la piedra, ay si, si, si
Like the little moss on the stone, oh yes, yes, yes
Mi paso retrocedido, cuando el de ustedes avanza
My step backwards, when yours advances
El arco de las alianzas ha penetrado en mi nido
The arc of alliances has penetrated my nest
Con todo su colorido se ha paseado por mis venas
With all its color it has passed through my veins
Y hasta la dura cadena con que nos ata el destino
And even the hard chain with which fate binds us
Es como un diamante fino que alumbra mi alma serena
It's like a fine diamond that illuminates my serene soul
Se va enredando, enredando, como en el muro la hiedra
It gets entangled, entangled, like the ivy on the wall
Y va brotando, brotando como el musguito en la piedra
And it sprouts, sprouting like the moss on the stone
Como el musguito en la piedra, ay si, si, si
Like the little moss on the stone, oh yes, yes, yes
Lo que puede el sentimiento no lo ha podido el saber
What the feeling could not know
Ni el mas claro proceder ni el mas ancho pensamiento
Neither the clearest proceeding nor the broadest thought
Todo lo cambia el momento colmado condescendiente
Everything changes the condescending full moment
Nos aleja dulcemente de rencores y violencias
Gently distances us from grudges and violence
Solo el amor con su ciencia nos vuelve tan inocentes
Only love with its science makes us so innocent
Se va enredando, enredando, como en el muro la hiedra
It gets entangled, entangled, like the ivy on the wall
Y va brotando, brotando como el musguito en la piedra
And it sprouts, sprouting like the moss on the stone
Como el musguito en la piedra, ay si, si, si
Like the little moss on the stone, oh yes, yes, yes
El amor es torbellino de pureza original
Love is a whirlwind of original purity
Hasta el feroz animal susurra su dulce trino
Even the ferocious animal whispers its sweet trill
Detiene a los peregrinos, libera a los prisioneros
Stop the pilgrims, free the prisoners
El amor con sus esmeros, al viejo lo vuelve niño
Love with its efforts makes the old man a child
Y al malo solo el cariño lo vuelve puro y sincero
And only affection makes the bad one pure and sincere
Se va enredando, enredando, como en el muro la hiedra
It gets entangled, entangled, like the ivy on the wall
Y va brotando, brotando como el musguito en la piedra
And it sprouts, sprouting like the moss on the stone
Como el musguito en la piedra, ay si, si, si
Like the little moss on the stone, oh yes, yes, yes
De par en par la ventana se abrió como por encanto
The window opened wide as if by magic
Entro el amor con su manto como una tibia mañana
Love entered with its cloak like a warm morning
Al son de su bella diana hizo brotar el jazmín
To the sound of the beautiful diana he made the jasmine sprout
Volando cual serafín al cielo le puso aretes
Flying like a seraph to heaven he put earrings
Y mis años en diecisiete los convirtió el querubín
And my seventeen years were turned by the cherub
Se va enredando, enredando, como en el muro la hiedra
It gets entangled, entangled, like the ivy on the wall
Y va brotando, brotando como el musguito en la piedra
And it sprouts, sprouting like the moss on the stone
Como el musguito en la piedra, ay si, si, si
Like the little moss on the stone, oh yes, yes, yes
