Gotas de Ajenjo (Drops of Absinthe)

Grace Bete, voice

Text by Julio Flórez

Cuando lejos muy lejos, en hondos mares,
en lo mucho que sufro pienses a solas,
si exhalas un suspiro por mis pesares,
mándame ese suspiro sobre las olas.
Cuando el sol con sus rayos desde el oriente
rasgue las blondas gasas de las neblinas,
si una oración murmuras por el ausente,
deja que me la traigan las golondrinas.
Cuando la tarde pierda sus tristes galas,
y en cenizas se tornen las nubes rojas,
mándame un beso ardiente sobre las alas
de las brisas que juegan entre las hojas.
Que yo, cuando la noche tienda su manto,
yo, que llevo en el alma sus mudas huellas,
te enviaré, con mis quejas, un dulce canto
en la luz temblorosa de las estrellas!

Translated by Victoria Sofia Botero

When far, very far, in deep seas,
when you think sometimes of how much I suffer
if you breathe a sigh for my sorrows, 
send me that sigh on the waves.

When the sun, with his rays, from the east, 
scratches the golden gauze from the mists 
If you murmur a prayer for the absent,
let the swallows bring it to me.

When the afternoon loses its sad finery, 
and the red clouds turn to ashes,
send me an ardent kiss on the wings
of the breezes that play among the leaves.

That I, while the night tends its cloak,
I, who carries in my soul her silent footsteps, 
I will send you, with my laments, a sweet song
in the trembling light of the stars!
