I Want to Learn by Heart

Leonardo Favio

Quiero Aprender de Memoria

Quiero aprender de memoria con mi boca
Tu cuerpo muchacha de abril
Y recorrer tus entrañas
En busca del hijo que no ha de venir
Quiero partir con mi canto
Tu cuerpo de niña y hundirme a vivir
Nada me importa la gente
Que opina y se mete, no me han de entender

Como explicar que te quiero
Que me sonrió y muero al verte pasar
Como explicar que te amo
Si no fuiste mía, ni lo será jamás
Como explicar que me duele
Hasta el aire que juega en tu pelo y andar
Y al escuchar mí canto
Sabrás que es el llanto que lloro por vos
Poco me importa la gente
Que opina y se mete, no comprenderán

Ay si pudiera en tu pecho
Tener el sosiego y encontrar la paz
Y acariciando tu pelo
Encontrar al sueño que no puedo hallar
Ay si tu boca me diera
Callada la forma del amor de amar
Encontraría un motivo
Para seguir viviendo, de poder luchar

Quiero aprender de memoria con mi boca
Tu cuerpo muchacha de abril
Y recorrer tus entrañas
En busca del hijo que no ha de venir

I Want to Learn by Heart

I want to learn by heart with my mouth
Your body, April girl
And go through your insides
In search of the child that will not come
I want to share with my song
Your girl's body and sink to live
I don't care about people
Who give opinions and meddle, they won't understand

How to explain that I love you
That I smile and die when I see you pass by
How to explain that I love you
If you were never mine, nor will you ever be
How to explain that it hurts me
Even the air that plays in your hair and walk
And when you hear my song
You'll know it's the crying that I cry for you
I don't care about people
Who give opinions and meddle, they won't understand

Oh, if I could have
Peace in your chest and find peace
And caressing your hair
Find the dream that I can't find
Oh, if your mouth gave me
Silently the way of loving love
I would find a reason
To keep living, to be able to fight

I want to learn by heart with my mouth
Your body, April girl
And go through your insides
In search of the child that will not come
