Wishes for Life

01/22/2012

A Song I like by Joaquin Sabina.
"Noches de Boda"  
I am trying to translate the spirit of the Words,
here is a try:


Wedding Nights 

That your Makeup not turn off your laughter,

Let the Baggage not drag down your wings,

That calendars don't hurry to come 

Let Dictionaries stop all the bullets,


That Shades of Dawn be corrected with Blinds,

Let the war of "I can",  be won by "I want"

That those who wait will not count down the hours,

That those who kill will die out of fear


Let the End of the world catch you dancing

That your gray hair be dyed on the stage

Let you never know either how, or when,

or a hundred flying nor yesterday or tomorrow,


Let the heart not fall out of fashion,

That autumns will gild up your skin,

Let Every night be a wedding night

That the honeymoon never end

Let  All  nights be a wedding night

That the honeymoon stays in the sky


Let the Truth never be shy

that  the lies will all feel like lies

Let the mirrors be truthful

That you benefit from all that you watch


Let  Misery not bother with you

That every meal be your last supper

 Let  Being brave not be so expensive

That cowardice not be worth your while.


That your price never be less than nothing,

Let love without thorns not be sold

That  fairy tales not take you to sleep

Let the corner bar be open for you.


Let  the heart  never fall out of fashion,

 That  the Autumns will gild up your skin,

Let every night be a wedding night 

That the honey moon never end

And that every moon be a  honeymoon
