Pajaro ciego     Blind bird   Music: Antonio Bonavena Lyrics: Lito Bayardo    (possibly under the earlier    pseudonym "Lito Gallardo") Rec. by Anibal Troilo with Francisco Fiorentino & Amadeo Mandarino   Tr. Jake Spatz Recited 18 Oct. 2006, Divino Lounge   Como aquel pajarito cantor que tenía los ojos sin luz y en su jaula dorada cantó su canción de dolor... yo también a tu lado alguna vez a escuchar tu canción me acerqué y era tan seductor tu cantar que en tu cárcel quedé. As with that little songbird that had darkness in its eyes and sang from its golden cage, putting sorrow into song— you brought me to your side once to hear your singing close, and your voice seduced me so, I joined you in your jail. Pajarito cantor si te vas de aquí yo no se si olvidar que te conocí. No quisiera llorar sobre mi dolor ni tampoco pensar en mi pobre amor. Little songbird of mine, if you fly out from here I think the thought that we met would never disappear. I don't want to cry over all my pain, nor think with a sigh about my poor love. Porqué quién te va a querer aquí como te amo yo quién, quien te cuidará quién, si te vas así sin decirme adiós. Because who will there be to adore you the same as I love you here, who, who will show you care, who, if you leave like this without a word of goodbye. Table of Contents Questions? Comments?
