Hermosos tus labios, pétalos de rosa cubiertos de rocío que cada día me besan.
Hermoso tu reír, son angelical que cada día me lleva al cielo.
Hermoso tu andar, danza de tus caderas que cada día me condena al más tormentoso infierno.
Hermosa tu luz, que ilumina mi camino.
Más hermosa aún es tu maldita oscuridad, que me atrae y me seduce,
Tu sensualidad que me enreda y pronto me deja sujeto a tus caprichos.
Bendita tu gentileza y cariño;
Maldita tu inerte riqueza que hace tan evidente mi paupérrimo.
Te amo porque eres mi sol resplandeciente;
Te odio porque junto a ti, soy un astro beocio.
Te alabo, mujer bendita por el mismo Dios
Y te maldigo, autora de mi perdición.
Por tu amor renunciaría a los míos,
Pero sólo si tú renuncias a los tuyos.
Ves que mi amor es condicional
Porque sigo siendo más importante que tú.

For you
I wanted to sit under that great sycamore tree
To stay there and see and feel and breathe.
I wished to trap you there and keep you forever
For me and only me.
And there under our indulgent illusion,
Our tangible sycamore tree,
I would make love to you.
My words caress your lips,
My ideas softly touch your breasts.
All day we would explore our bodies,
And at night we would talk of things unseen and hear things far away.
For if a simple embrace can hold so many feelings,
How could words not hold so much more?
And yet so little...
To you is this poem.
For poetry is our ugly attempt at beauty,
So my words nor my eyes can capture your radiance.
Come to me
Give yourself to me
Make love to me.
To stay there and see and feel and breathe.
I wished to trap you there and keep you forever
For me and only me.
And there under our indulgent illusion,
Our tangible sycamore tree,
I would make love to you.
My words caress your lips,
My ideas softly touch your breasts.
All day we would explore our bodies,
And at night we would talk of things unseen and hear things far away.
For if a simple embrace can hold so many feelings,
How could words not hold so much more?
And yet so little...
To you is this poem.
For poetry is our ugly attempt at beauty,
So my words nor my eyes can capture your radiance.
Come to me
Give yourself to me
Make love to me.
