Para Llevarte a Vivir

To Take You to Live

Para Llevarte a Vivir

From what was said without thinking,De lo dicho sin pensar,
from what I keep silent and don't say,de lo que callo y no digo,
from the things yet to come,de las cosas por pasar,
from the traps of chance,de las trampas del azar,
from the letters of destiny,de las cartas del destino,
I have a colored penciltengo un lápiz colora'o
with a little book savedcon un librito guarda'o
to write it with you.para escribirlo contigo.

If untimely luckSi la suerte inoportuna
sets you up,te jugara una encerrona,
if there's no way out,si no hay salida ninguna,
if grace and fortunesi la gracia y la fortuna
turn away from you,se apartan de tu persona,
I have a green lanterntengo un farolillo verde
in case you get lost at nightpor si de noche te pierdes
and the moon abandons you.y la luna te abandona.

I have the rose of the East,Tengo la rosa de oriente,
the gold of the rising sunel oro del sol naciente
and whatever you want to ask for.y lo que quieras pedir.
I have the treasure map,Tengo el mapa del tesoro,
I have the Moorish palace,tengo el palacio del moro,
to take you to live.para llevarte a vivir.

Of everything I kissed,De todo lo que besé,
I don't consider a kiss lost,no doy beso por perdido,
so it won't bite me againpa que me vuelva a morder
with yesterday's madnesscon la locura de ayer
your mouth against oblivion.tu boca contra el olvido.
I keep a spare kissGuardo un beso de reserva
to roll on the grasspara rodar por la hierba
when you come with me.cuando te vengas conmigo.

The south I promised youEl sur que te prometí
has another border to the south,tiene al sur otra frontera,
the strings of my lutelas cuerdas de mi laúd
keep searching for the lightsiguen buscando la luz
further south of the chimera.más al sur de la quimera.
I have a deserted beachTengo una playa desierta
and a carriage at the doory una calesa en la puerta
to show off by your side.para lucirme a tu vera.
