Un Simple Abrazo

A Simple Hug

Un Simple Abrazo

A simple hugUn simple abrazo
So as not to die unembraced this afternoonPara no morir desabrazado esta tarde
A caressUna caricia
So that the skin doesn't dissolve in the airPara que la piel no se deshaga en el aire

No one sells themNo hay quien los venda
Because hugs aren't bought, they're longed forPorque los abrazos no se compran, se anhelan
No one gives them awayNo hay quien regale
Because a beautiful hug is not easily disposablePorque un bello abrazo no es bien descartable

Star that illuminates youEstrella que te ilumina
When you feel like you're fallingCuando sientes que caes
When you feel like you're tremblingCuando sientes que tiemblas
Contained in the mistAtenido en la niebla

A simple hugUn simple abrazo
To discover that chimeras still existPara descubrir que aún existen quimeras
A caressUna caricia
So as not to sleep without that fire in the bonfirePara no dormir sin ese fuego en la hoguera

One that hurtsUno que duela
Because sorrows certainly devourPorque ciertamente devoran las penas
One tightUno apretado
Like that of a brother returning to the nestComo el de un hermano que al nido volviera

Bond that germinates usLazo que nos germina
When we feel like we're fallingAl sentir que caemos
When we tremble with fearCuando temblamos de miedo
Contained in the mistAtenidos en la niebla

A simple hugUn simple abrazo
So as not to forget that we were born barefootPara no olvidar que nacimos descalzos
A simple hugUn simple abrazo
To remember that to live is to lovePara recordar que vivir es amar
