Si No Te Tuviera a Ti

If I Didn't Have You

Si No Te Tuviera a Ti

If I didn't have youSi no te tuviera a ti
I would have nothing at allNada de nada tendría
Not even the river of your gazeNi el río de tu mirada
Where I wash my girdleDonde lavo mi ceñir
Not even sleep when you kiss meNi el sueño cuando me besas
That is my only hideoutQue es mi única guarida
There would be no clear moonNo habría la Luna clara
The sky would hideEl cielo se ocultaría

If I didn't have youSi no te tuviera a ti
I would perhaps have lifeTendría tal vez la vida
But death is lurkingPero la muerte acechando
In my chest it would already beEn mi pecho ya sería
There would be no direction in my stepsNo habría en mis pasos rumbo
The birds would fall silentLos pájaros callarían
The earth would be spinningLa tierra iría girando
Cora of Sun and JoyCora de Sol y alegría

If I didn't have youSi no te tuviera a ti
I wouldn't know why I've beenNo sabría porque he sido
There would only be the night timeSolo habría la nocturna
Blindness of nonsenseCeguera del sin sentido
I would have maybe the airTendría tal vez el aire
The sky with its starsEl cielo con sus estrellas
But I wouldn't know the namePero no sabría el nombre
Of the light that goes with themDe la luz que va con ellas

I would have maybe my bodyTendría tal vez mi cuerpo
But I wouldn't notice itPero no lo notaría
And my hands without your handsY mis manos sin tus manos
They would be empty arcadesSerían arcadas vacías
The order of the planetsEl orden de los planetas
Without your love it would be alteredSin tu amor se alteraría
And time without its horizonY el tiempo sin su horizonte
Like a madman I would killComo un loco mataría

If I didn't have youSi no te tuviera a ti
The ships would no longer knowLos barcos ya no sabrían
Where to set sail tomorrowA dónde zarpar mañana
The whole sea would stopTodo el mar se detendría
Without its goal the soul would goSin su meta iría el alma
Through a tunnel with no exitPor un túnel sin salida
And then no one would knowY entonces nadie sabría
What is death and what is lifeLo que es muerte y lo que es vida

If I didn't have youSi no te tuviera a ti
If I didn't have youSi no te tuviera a ti
If I didn't have youSi no te tuviera a ti
