"Te Quiero" dijiste [English translation]

"I love you," you said,

taking my hands

between your smalls hands

of white ivory.

And I felt in my chest

a strong pulsation,

then a sigh,

and soon the crackling

of a febrile kiss.

Little beautiful doll

with hair of gold,

teeth of pearls,

lips of rubies.

Tell me if you desire me,

like I adore you;

if you remember me,

like I remember you.

And sometimes I hear

a divine echo

that wrapped in a breeze

appears to say:

"Yes, I desire you a lot,

a lot, a lot, a lot,

as much as before,

forever untill death."
