Yo Soy

I Am

Yo Soy

I am your light, your thoughts, your button,Yo soy tu luz, tu pensamiento, tu boton,
Your rum, your skyscraper, your apparent action,Tu ron, tu rascacielo, tu aparente accion,
I am your most industrious thought.Yo soy tu pensamiento mas fabril.
And I am your cross, your suitor, your daliY soy tu cruz, tu pretendiente, tu dali
Your bread with jam, I am your appendix,Tu pan con mermelada, yo soy tu apendriz,
Your mascara, your purse, and your blue jeans.Tu rimel, tu cartera y tu blue jean.

That's why I took the risk to feelPor eso me arriesgue a sentir
That's why I got close without a warning,Por eso me acerque sin avisar,
That's why I carry youPor eso es que te llevo
Out of habit and I confess it bores meDe abuso y te confieso que me aburre
To see you for just a bit.Verte un rato nada mas.
That's why I sat down to writePor eso me sente a escribir
For this half hour you give mePara esta media hora que me das
You'll know it's not a sin to relax for a whileSabras que no es pecado relajarse por un rato
Especially if nothing else happens.Sobretodo si no pasa nada mas.

I am a poem hiding from the paper,Yo soy poema que se esconde del papel,
I am the one you call when it's 6:06Yo soy el que llamo cuando eran 6y6
I am the one who seems and the one who isYo soy el que parece y el que es
And I am a crutch, a sunflower, and communionY soy muleta, girasol y comunion
I’m part of the part, I go where I go,Soy parte de la parte, voy adonde voy,
I should take you, but I won’t.Tendria que llevarte, pero no.

That's why I took the risk to feelPor eso me arriesgue a sentir
That's why I got close without a warning,Por eso me acerque sin avisar,
That's why I carry youPor eso es que te llevo
Out of habit and I confess it bores meDe abuso y te confieso que me aburre
To see you for just a bit.Verte un rato nada mas.
That's why I sat down to writePor eso me sente a escribir
For this half hour you give mePara esta media hora que me das
You'll know it's not a sin to relax for a whileSabras que no es pecado relajarse por un rato
Especially if nothing else happens.Sobretodo si no pasa nada mas.

And I’m a small candidate for a heart,Y soy pequeño candidato a corazon,
I’m a lost cause because I’m leaving nowYo soy caso perdido porque ya me voy
I’ll leave you with your boyfriend and the song,Te dejo con tu novio y la cancion,
I should insist... but I won’t.Tendria que insistirte... pero no
