Los Desaparecidos/The Disappeared

Jean Wickham

 

No sé donde
Yo ponga las flores
Son para tí
Para tu memoria
Yo las pondría
En la tierra
Por estar con tu cuerpo
Pero no puedo plantarlos
De nuevo
Yo las pondría
En el cielo
Justo en caso Dios
Le dio alas
A tu alma
Pero no se quedan

No sé donde
Yo ponga las flores
Porque no sé
Donde está
Tu cuerpo
Ni tu alma

Pues,
Los pondré en tu cama
Porque todavía
Te espero
Y te busco
Aunque los flores marchitan
Con la esperanza
Que me regreses a mí

I don’t know where
I should put the flowers
They are for you
For your memory
I would put them
In the earth
To be with your body
But I cannot plant them
Anew
I would put them
In the sky
Just in case God
Gave wings
To your soul
But they do not stay

I don’t know where
I should put the flowers
Because I don’t know
Where is
Your body
Or your soul

Well,
I will put them in your bed
Because still
I wait for you
And I look for you
Even though flowers fade
With the hope
That you would return to me
