|
| When I first laid eyes upon you
| Cuando te vi por primera vez
|
| I was filled with such a longing
| Estaba lleno de tal anhelo
|
| To be with you in the dark
| Estar contigo en la oscuridad
|
| Bright star
| Lucero
|
| Since I could not fly beside you
| Ya que no pude volar a tu lado
|
| I would chart my own course by you
| Trazaría mi propio curso por ti
|
| And I’d sail it by your light
| Y lo navegaría por tu luz
|
| Bright star
| Lucero
|
| I have sailed in all directionsI
| he navegado en todas direcciones
|
| Have followed your reflection
| He seguido tu reflejo
|
| To the farthest foreign shore
| A la costa extranjera más lejana
|
| Bright star bright star
| estrella brillante estrella brillante
|
| I have anchored in the harbors
| he anclado en los puertos
|
| I have brought my gifts to barter
| he traído mis regalos para el trueque
|
| For a drifter’s bed and board
| Para la cama y la comida de un vagabundo
|
| Bright star
| Lucero
|
| I have drunk the wine of ages
| He bebido el vino de los siglos
|
| In the company of strangers
| En compañía de extraños
|
| We havesung in tongues of angels
| Hemos cantado en lenguas de ángeles
|
| And then stumbled on the pavemnt
| Y luego tropecé con el pavimento
|
| And I understood my place then
| Y entendí mi lugar entonces
|
| And my purpos in relation
| Y mis propósitos en relación
|
| To the young and ancient night
| A la noche joven y antigua
|
| Bright star
| Lucero
|
| I am home now from my roaming
| Estoy en casa ahora desde mi roaming
|
| I’m alone now in the gloaming
| Estoy solo ahora en el crepúsculo
|
| With the ships out in the yard
| Con los barcos en el patio
|
| Bright star bright star
| estrella brillante estrella brillante
|
| There’s a thought upon me dawning
| Hay un pensamiento sobre mí al amanecer
|
| You have launched a thousand longings
| Has lanzado mil anhelos
|
| And I don’t know who you are
| Y no se quien eres
|
| Bright star
| Lucero
|
| You have never been my vessel
| Nunca has sido mi recipiente
|
| Or the wind my sails have wrestled
| O el viento mis velas han luchado
|
| Or the lands to which I traveled
| O las tierras a las que viajé
|
| Or the friends with whom I reveled
| O los amigos con los que me deleitaba
|
| There are lengths to which you’ll never
| Hay longitudes a las que nunca
|
| Know I went to be your lover
| Sé que fui a ser tu amante
|
| And beloved in your sight
| Y amado a tus ojos
|

|
| When I first laid eyes upon you
| Cuando te vi por primera vez
|
| I was filled with such a longing
| Estaba lleno de tal anhelo
|
| To be with you in the dark
| Estar contigo en la oscuridad
|
| Bright star
| Lucero
|
| If I could have flown beside you
| Si hubiera podido volar a tu lado
|
| I would not have had the sight of you
| no hubiera tenido la vista de ti
|
| To guide me through the world so wide
| Para guiarme a través del mundo tan ancho
|
| And bright | Y brillante |
