Quiero abrazarte tanto [English translation]

I feel your cold hand

running slowly over my skin,

and your chest on my chest, and your nakedness.

I´m already forgetting reproaches I imagined.

Come to the orchard with me,

the roses want to see

the promise you broke so you could come back

and thus believe what I told them.

I said I loved you

like nothhing else in the world.

That I followed your footsteps,

your gait, like a wolf in heat

from my home,

with the door wide open,

wide open.

That I kept our corner

dimly lit,

on that living hall, with cutlery for two

and your song,

and your flowers in the vase.

I feel your warm hand

that kisses my skin, inch by inch,

and your arms encircle me today, like yesterday,

on this new day, I believe again.

Come to the docks with me,

for there´s a boat on the yard

with your name painted, drying in the sun

and your hand carved near the rudder.

You know I loved you

like nothing else in the world...

I want to hug you so much,

with all my senses, with so much love

that there´ll be no sound but our voice,

and my body inside yours shortly after.

And I´ll walk the earth

like a minstrel looking for a god

and I´ll have your lap, your understanding

and a small house for us two.

You know I love you

like nothing else in the world...
