Ofrenda

Offering

Ofrenda

They say I'm broke,Me dicen que soy pobre,
That I have no rightQue no tengo derecho
To ruin your lifeA destruir tu vida
And pretend to love you,Y a pretender tu amor,
That I can't give you anything,Que nada puedo darte,
That I don't deserve you,Que yo no te merezco,
That I shouldn't take youQue no debo llevarte
Into my despair.A mi desolación.

And what do people knowY que sabe la gente
About what I offer you,De lo que yo te ofrezco,
If my passion awaits youSi mi pasión te aguarda
With longing and frenzy,Con ansia y frenesí,
The sun of my poems,El sol de mis poemas,
The moon of my dreamsLa luna de mi ensueño
And all the treasuresY todos los tesoros
Of a happy heart.De un corazón feliz.

To count my kisses,Para contar mis besos,
I offer you the starsTe ofrezco las estrellas
And for your fainting spells,Y para tus desmayos,
Twilight of peace,Crepúsculos de paz,
Auroras of my blood,Auroras de mi sangre,
To light your candlesPara encender tus velas
And they say I'm broke,Y dicen que soy pobre,
That I shouldn't love you.Que no te debo amar.

To count my kisses,Para contar mis besos,
I offer you the starsTe ofrezco las estrellas
And for your fainting spells,Y para tus desmayos,
Twilight of peace,Crepúsculos de paz,
Auroras of my blood,Auroras de mi sangre,
To light your candlesPara encender tus velas
And they say I'm broke,Y dicen que soy pobre,
That I shouldn't love you.Que no te debo amar.

And they say I'm broke,Y dicen que soy pobre,
That I shouldn't love you.Que no te debo amar.
