Amores Eternos

Eternal Loves

Amores Eternos

Naked she felt just like a fish in water,Desnuda se sentía igual que un pez en el agua,
Dressing her was worse than shrouding her;Vestirla era peor que amortajarla;
Innocent and perverse like a world without gods,Inocente y perversa como un mundo sin dioses,
Joyful and generous like the bread of the poor.Alegre y repartida como el pan de los pobres.

I didn't want to hold her, what would it have servedNo quise retenerla, ¿de qué hubiera servido
To unpack the suitcases of forgetfulness?Deshacer las maletas del olvido?
But I don't know what I would give to have her right nowPero no sé qué diera por tenerla ahora mismo
Looking over my shoulder at what I write.Mirando por encima de mi hombro lo que escribo.
I gave her my nights and my bread, my anguish, my laughter,Le di mis noches y mi pan, mi angustia, mi risa,
In exchange for her kisses and her haste;A cambio de sus besos y su prisa;
With her I discovered that there are eternal lovesCon ella descubrí que hay amores eternos
That last as long as a short winter.Que duran lo que dura un corto invierno.

I keep a crimson kiss that her lips leftConservo un beso de carmín que sus labios dejaron
Imprinted on the bathroom mirror,Impreso en el espejo del lavabo,
A yellowed photo, a rusted heart,Una foto amarilla, un corazón oxidado,
And this thirst of one who longs for the source of sin.Y esta sed del que añora la fuente del pecado.

Before the moth of everyday lifeAntes que la carcoma de la vida cotidiana
Ended up sleeping in our bed,Acabara durmiendo en nuestra cama,
Pagan and arbitrary like a Monday without classPagana y arbitraria como un lunes sin clase
She left in the early morning, didn't want to belong to anyone.Se fue de madrugada, no quiso ser de nadie.

I gave her my nights and my bread, my anguish, my laughter,Le di mis noches y mi pan, mi angustia, mi risa,
In exchange for her kisses and her haste;A cambio de sus besos y su prisa;
With her I discovered that there are eternal lovesCon ella descubrí que hay amores eternos
That last as long as a short winter.Que duran lo que dura un corto invierno.
