Yo Digo que las estrellas
le dan gracias a la Noche,
porque encima de otro coche
no pueden lucir tan bellas.
Y digo que es culpa de ella;
de la Noche, el Universo.
Cual son culpables los versos
de que haya noches y estrellas
- Silvio Rodriguez -
I say that the stars
give thanks to the Night,
cause on another carriage
they couldn't look so pretty.
And I say that it's her fault;
the Night's, the Universe.
Just as verses are guilty
of the existence of Nights and Stars.
- Silvio Rodriguez -
