Amor, Mi Gran Amor
Alberto Cortes
Love, My Great Love
Don't you know where I put my glasses?
I've been getting distracted lately,
maybe it's because of the reflection of your eyes
or perhaps because I'm getting older.
Let's see, what do you think of this poem
have you seen how beautiful the evening is,
why is it that all my schemes
break only by looking at you.
Love, my great love,
my good love, my shelter...
love, my adventurous love,
marvelous love, I love you.
You are much more than I am
and where I go when I leave,
love, unchanging love,
my luminous and great love.
You have already endured many years
my hours of sadness and joy,
the harsh reality and the fantasies
and a wide repertoire of quirks.
You summon my ideas and my verses
my tastes, my friends, my absences,
and turn my most adverse moments
to joy just by being present.
Love, my great love,
my good love, my shelter...
love, my adventurous love,
marvelous love, I love you.
You are much more than I am
and where I go when I leave,
love, unchanging love,
my luminous and great love.
