Could somebody translate this music for me?

As I write this article, I read in a newspaper a sentence that is highlighted in an interview and which very much catches my attention: «Music cannot be translated into words, and that is precisely where its power is». These words belong to a composer, Luis de Pablo to be precise, and they clearly summarize one of the matters that have centred musical creation since its beginnings. Is music exportable, translatable to other arts or languages? Or is it a self-centred and closed art which does not accept any translation whatsoever as valid?
