I Write

Escribo

I writeEscribo
Each letter is a seedCada letra es semilla
That germinatesQue germina
I don't know the outcomeNo conozco el desenlace
Of my lifeDe mi vida
I write and I am pure consciousnessEscribo y soy conciencia pura
I am memorySoy memoria
I write so I don't forgetEscribo para no olvidarme
Our storyNuestra historia

I write with my body dividedEscribo con el cuerpo partido
In raw fleshEn carne viva
Remembering you, my loveRecordandote mi amor
Every dayTodos los dias
And I write you the saddestY te escribo los versos
Verses tonightMas tristes esta noche
And Neruda laughsY neruda se rie
Without reproachSin reproches

It's seven-thirty in the eveningSon las siete y media de la tarde
And I write because I can't forget youY escribo porque no puedo olvidarte
And it's seven-thirty of destinyY son las siete y media del destino
That abruptly took us off the pathQue nos saco de golpe del camino
And I write, and I writeY escribo, y escribo

I writeEscribo
To not be so alone in your departurePara no estar tan solo en tu partida
And I know you're here on the same shoreY sé que estás aquí en la misma orilla
I write and feel that your laughterEscribo y siento que tu risa
Illuminates meMe ilumina
I write because I have a lotEscribo porque tengo mucho
Of hunger for your lifeHambre de tu vida

It's seven-thirty, my dearSon las siete y media ro querida
And today the farewell is harderY hoy me cuesta más la despedida
And it's seven-thirty and I can't findY son las siete y media y ya no encuentro
The sleeping beauty of my taleA la bella durmiente de mi cuento
And I write, and I writeY escribo, y escribo
I write, I writeEscribo, escribo
