Si tú supieras compañero - Rosalía


Though my body has run around
traveling the world for leagues and leagues,
traveling the world for leagues and leagues;
I left my soul in this place; and, therefore,
I have returned to look for it
Though my body has run around,
traveling the world for leagues and leagues

Take this golden dagger in your hands,
and from all of the four directions,
stab me, jab after jab.
Yet do not tell me that you forget me,
for in the bearing with which you carry yourself,
when you go out to walk,
you are going to pay me back.
Even for the tail of the lantern
you are going to pay me back

Though my body has run around
traveling the world for leagues and leagues,
traveling the world for leagues and leagues;
I left my soul in this place; and, therefore,
I have returned to look for it
Though my body has run around,
traveling the world for leagues and leagues

Take this golden dagger in your hands,
and from all of the four directions,
stab me, jab after jab
Yet do not tell me that you forget me,
for in the bearing with which you carry yourself,
when you go out to walk,
you are going to pay me back
Even for the tail of the lantern, oh, you shall pay me back.

If the Sun offends you when it rises
if knew that this were true, my friend,
that the Sun offends you when it rises,
I would fight the sun.
Even if led me to my death,
I would fight the sun,
even if it led me to my death

Mother! The queen of my heart
has two black fans instead of eyelashes.
That’s what she has as eyelashes, girl, as eyelashes
No other girl in all of Spain has such eyelashes

Oh! I am painting your portrait, painting you,
by the faint light of the brazier
and at the same time I am burning away slowly,
consumed by my love for you
May Saint Raphael help me, oh!
The water I need is so near, yet I cannot drink of it
