Elena
Los Enanitos Verdes
Lyrics
Translation
Un dia como hoy
One day like today
se fue quedando en soledad
He was left in solitude
le prometio despues volver
He promised to come back later
por la patria iba a luchar
He was going to fight for the homeland
Nunca le dijo adios
He never said goodbye
decid hasta la vuelta era mejor
He decided it was better to say 'until I return'
y asi fingiendo sonreir
And so, pretending to smile
quedo mirandolo partir
He remained watching him leave
Elena le escribio,
Elena wrote to him
algunas cartas contesto
He answered some letters
que de leer nunca dejo
That he never stopped reading
cartas de guerra, cartas de amor
Letters from war, letters of love
Al frente fue a luchar
He went to fight at the front
aquellas islas conquistar
To conquer those islands
cuando la bala lo alcanzo
When the bullet reached him
el angel de la muerte se lo llevo
The angel of death took him
Y ella no deja de sentir
And she can't stop feeling
que un dia volvera
That one day he will return
solo queda esperar
Only waiting remains
la guerra nunca la termino
The war never ended
la tumba del dolor
The tomb of pain
siempre abierta esta en su corazon
Always remains open in her heart
Desnuda la ciudad
Naked is the city
buscando entre las calles va
Searching among the streets she goes
pasan los años y ella esta
Years go by and she's there
besando el viento, mirando el mar
Kissing the wind, looking at the sea
no quizo preguntar cuando volvieron los demas
She didn't want to ask when the others returned
y si algun barco llega del sur
And if a ship arrives from the south
su rostro brilla lleno de luz
Her face shines full of light
Elena no deja de sentir
Elena can't stop feeling
que un dia volvera
That one day he will return
solo queda esperar
Only waiting remains
la guerra nunca la termino
The war never ended
la tumba del dolor
The tomb of pain
siempre abierta esta en su corazon
Always remains open in her heart
