Yuyo verde     Greener grass   Music: Domingo Serafín Federico Lyrics: Homero Expósito Rec. by Anibal Troilo with Floreal Ruiz   Tr. Jake Spatz Recited 11 Oct. 2006, Divino Lounge   Callejon... callejon... Lejano, lejano... Ibamos perdidos de la mano, bajo un cielo de verano, soñando en vano... Un farol, un porton, igual que en un tango, y los dos perdidos de la mano, bajo el cielo de verano que partió. Alleyway... alleyway... Faraway, so faraway now... Off we wandered hand in hand, astray, lost beneath a summer sky, dreaming in vain... A streetlamp on, a gated door, just the same as in a tango— and hand in hand the pair of them astray, lost beneath a summer sky that moved away. Dejame que llore crudamente con el llanto viejo del adios. En donde el callejon se pierde brotó este yuyo verde del perdon. Dejame que llore y te recuerde, trenzas que me anudan al porton; de tu pais ya no se vuelve ni con el yuyo verde del perdon. Just let me cry and cry until I'm raw with the same old tears of our goodbye. Down there where the alley's running out, a greener grass once used to sprout in forgiveness. Just let me cry and think of you again, braiding myself to the trellis of that door; there's no way back to your country anymore even with the greener grass of forgiveness. Donde estas... donde estas... Adonde te has ido? Donde estan las plumas de mi nido, la emoción de haber vivido y aquel cariño... Un farol, un porton, igual que en un tango, y este llanto mio entre mis manos y este cielo de verano que partió. Where are you now... where are you now... Where did you run away to? Where's the little feathered nest I knew, the feel of living something through, and that old affection... A streetlamp on, a gated door, just the same as in a tango— and all the tears I'm crying in my hands, and this very summer sky that moved away. Table of Contents Questions? Comments?
