Snowbird (Elvis Presley)

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings a song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
that will bloom again in spring

When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me,
that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life
Is the thing I can't win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know
that I would fly away with you

The breeze along the river seems to say
That she'll only break my heart again
should I decide to stay

So little snowbird take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes
where the peaceful waters flow

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know
that I would fly away with you

El último vals (LODVG)

Como casi siempre
cuando algo se muere
nace nostalgia
buscando un corazón.
Pero el mío es raro
y aunque esté desordenado
es impermeable al dolor

La felicidad es un maquillaje
de sonrisa amable
desde que no estás


Siempre serás
bienvenido a este lugar,
a mi lista de obsesiones
de nombres a olvidar.
Como recordarte, sin mirar atrás
Yo nunca olvidaré el último vals.

Cuando todo acabe
y el silencio hable
sólo tus pupilas sabrán que fue verdad.

Y entre los cristales
pedacitos de esa tarde,
donde comenzamos a soñar.

La felicidad es un maquillaje
de sonrisa amable
desde que no estás

Siempre serás
bienvenido a este lugar,
a mi lista de obsesiones
de nombres a olvidar.

Como recordarte, sin mirar atrás
Yo nunca olvidaré el último vals.
