I Like For You To Be Still (feat. Glenn Close)
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.
As all things are filled with my soul
you emerge from the things, filled with my soul.
You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream,
and you are like the word Melancholy.
I like for you to be still, and you seem far away.
It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove.
And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you:
Let me come to be still in your silence.
And let me talk to you with your silence
that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring.
You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations.
Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid.
I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
distant and full of sorrow as though you had died.
One word then, one smile, is enough.
And I am happy, happy that it?s not true.
Me gusta que estés quieto (hazaña. Glenn Cerrar)
Me gusta que estés quieto: es como si estuvieras ausente
y me oyes desde lejos y mi voz no te toca
Parece como si tus ojos se hubieran ido volando
y parece que un beso te había sellado la boca
Como todas las cosas están llenas de mi alma
emergen de las cosas, llenos de mi alma
Eres como mi alma, una mariposa de sueño
y tú eres como la palabra Melancolía
Me gusta que estés quieto, y pareces muy lejos
Suena como si estuvieras lamentando, una mariposa ardiendo como una paloma
Y tú me oyes desde lejos, Y mi voz no te llega
Déjame estar quieto en tu silencio
Y déjame hablar contigo con tu silencio
que es brillante como una lámpara, simple como un anillo
Eres como la noche, con su quietud y constelaciones
Tu silencio es el de una estrella, tan remota y sincera
Me gusta que estés quieto: es como si estuvieras ausente
distante y lleno de tristeza como si hubieras muerto
Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa, es suficiente
Y estoy feliz, feliz de que sea?no es verdad
