Dos corazones     Two hearts
 
Music: Francisco Canaro
Lyrics: Ivo Pelay
Rec. by Francisco Canaro
  Tr. Jake Spatz
Recited 22 Feb. 06, Divino Lounge
 
Cual dos gotas de claro rocío
que en la noche se besan calladas
cual dos ondas que van impulsadas
a fundirse en la orilla del río.
Como el fuego que envuelve el estío
como nube que abraza otra nube
así son tu cariño y el mío
que se funden en un solo ideal.

As two little drops of clear dew
that noiselessly kiss in the night,
as two waves that push to the shore
to merge on the banks of the river...
Like the fire surrounding the summer,
like a cloud in the arms of a cloud,
so too are your sweetness and mine
as they fuse in a single desire.

Con tu corazón en mi corazón,
el lucero azul brillará mejor
con tu corazón en mi corazón,
todo en el jardín hablará de amor;
notas cristalinas llenarán tu oido
y una luz divina nos envolverá
fijaré mis ojos en tus negros ojos
uniré mis labios a tus labios rojos
y mi inspiración volará al cenit
con tu corazón en mi corazón.

With that heart of yours in this heart of mine,
the blue star will shine more brightly up above;
with that heart of yours in this heart of mine,
all things in the garden will be speaking of love—
crystalline notes will fill up your hearing
and we'll both be enfolded by a light divine,
I'll fasten my eyes to the black of your eyes,
to the red of your lips I'll unite my lips,
and up to the zenith will my inspiration fly
with that heart of yours in this heart of mine.

Cual sonoras campanas que funden
sus repiques en una armonía;
como rayos de sol que confunden
su fulgor con la gloria del día;
como un son que se liga a otros sones
como sombra que besa a otra sombra
así son nuestros dos corazones,
que se funden en un solo ideal.

As rung bells that phase their tolling
together into a harmony,
as rays of the sun that fuse
their glow with the glory of day;
like a sound in a sequence of sounds,
like two shadows that kiss at the edges,
so too are these two hearts of ours,
as they fuse in a single desire.

Notas cristalinas llenarán tu oido
y una luz divina nos envolverá
fijaré mis ojos en tus negros ojos;
uniré mis labios a tus labios rojos
y mi inspiración volará al cenit
con tu corazón en mi corazón.

Crystalline notes shall fill up your hearing
and we'll both be enfolded by a light divine;
I'll fasten my eyes to the black of your eyes,
to the red of your lips I'll unite my lips,
and up to the zenith will my inspiration fly
with that heart of yours in this heart of mine.
