A girl with kaleidoscope eyes



"Picture yourself in a boat on a river, 
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone..."

Penélope

"Penélope
con su bolso de piel marrón
y sus zapatos de tacón
y su vestido de domingo.
Penélope
se sienta en un banco en el andés
y espera que llegue el primer tren
meneando el abanico..."

Joan Manuel Serrat
"Penélope" (fragmento)





"Penelope
with her brown leather bag
and her high heel shoes
and her Sunday dress.
Penelope 
sits down on a bench at the platform
and waits for the first train
waving her fan..." 

Joan Manuel Serrat
"Penelope" (fragment)
