Enraizado

There I saw you, I breathed you in and sheltered you
among my branches
that like arms could touch
a hug for my skin

And I can't understand
how I became aware
to see myself as a being
that falls into a feeling
foreign to it, rooted in him

I want to feel that moment when together
the air gave us an unreal dance
don't shut me out, no
from the sound of my leaves that in the wind
whispered this song

And I can't understand
how I became aware
to see myself as a being
that falls into a feeling
foreign to it, rooted in him

I can't hold on
without that gaze that runs through my being
like sap that revives me
without it, I'll die, I'll dry up

Your memory isn't here
I need you just before I leave
to leave this body
to remain in you
rooted in you
