Yo me quedo

I stay

Yo me quedo

What house will shelter you,¿Qué casa te albergará,
in what corner will you stand,en qué esquina haz de párarte,
what neighborhood will you walk throughqué barrio recorrerás
to find yourself?para hallarte?

Which neighbor will talk to you,¿Qué vecino te hablará,
which buddy will come looking for you,qué compadre irá a buscarte,
which friend will you sharequé amigo compartirás
to surrender yourself?para entregarte?

I stay with all those thingsYo me quedo con todas esas cosas
small, silent,pequeñas, silenciosas,
with those I stay.con esas yo me quedo.

I don't want to talk to you about other thingsYa no quiero hablarte de otras cosas
more worthy, more beautiful,más dignas, más hermosas,
with those I stay.con esas yo me quedo.

What green will dazzle you,¿Qué verde ha de deslumbrarte,
what land with its humidity,qué tierra con su humedad,
its scents, its humilitysus olores, su humildad
will be missing?va a faltarte?

What seas will bathe you¿Qué mares han de bañarte
and what sun will embrace you,y qué sol te abrazará,
what kind of freedomqué clase de libertad
will they give you?van a darte?

I stay with all those thingsYo me quedo con todas esas cosas
small, silent,pequeñas, silenciosas,
with those I stay.con esas yo me quedo.

I don't want to talk to you about other thingsYa no quiero hablarte de otras cosas
more worthy, more beautiful,más dignas, más hermosas,
with those I stay.con esas yo me quedo.
