SONG OF MYSELF
words: W. Whitman (adap. R. Prada) / music: J. Bertrand / R. Prada


Twenty-eight young men
bathe by the shore,
Twenty-eight young men,
and all so friendly,
Twenty-eight years
of womanly life,
and all so lonesome
Twenty-eight young men
bathe by the shore,

She owns the fine house
by the rise if the bank,
She hides handsome
and richly drest aft the blinds
of the window
Which of the young men
does she like the best?

DANCING AND LAUGHING
ALONG THE BEACH
CAME THE TWENTY-NINTH BATHER,
THE REST DID NOT SEE HER,
BUT SHE SAW THEM AND LOVED THEM.

The beards of the young men
glistened with wet,
it ran from their long hair,
Little streams passed all
over their bodies.
Twenty-eight young men
bathe by the shore,

DANCING AND LAUGHING
ALONG THE BEACH
CAME THE TWENTY-NINTH BATHER,
THE REST DID NOT SEE HER,
BUT SHE SAW THEM AND LOVED THEM.

CANCIÓN A MI MISMO
letra: W. Whitman (adap. R. Prada) / música: J. Bertrand & R. Prada

Veintiocho muchachos
se bañan en la playa,
veintiocho muchachos,
y todos tan amigos,
Veintiocho años
de vida femenina,
y todos tan solitarios.
Veintiocho muchachos
se bañan en la playa.

Suya es la hermosa casa
que se alza en la orilla,
Se oculta hermosa
y ricamente vestida tras las persianas de la ventana.
¿Cuál de los jóvenes
le gusta más?

BAILANDO Y RIENDO
POR LA PLAYA
VINO LA BAÑISTA VEINTINUEVE,
LOS OTROS NO LA VIERON,
PERO ELLA LOS VIO Y LOS AMÓ.

En las barbas de los muchachos
el agua brillaba,
se escurría por sus largos cabellos,
pequeños arroyos recorrían sus cuerpos.
Veintiocho muchachos
se bañan en la playa.

BAILANDO Y RIENDO
POR LA PLAYA
VINO LA BAÑISTA VEINTINUEVE,
LOS OTROS NO LA VIERON,
PERO ELLA LOS VIO Y LOS AMÓ.
