Coplas

(Gateado)

Sadness ain't good
and neither are you,
don't make me feel so bad,
just love me a little.

Thinking of your love
leaves me in despair,
and I cry like a child
who's in mourning.

I don't want to keep you
locked up at home,
what I want is to love you,
tell me what's wrong.

You gave me four kisses,
even though you didn't want to,
why didn't you tell me
that you felt something?

If you love me now
I’ll know how to give you
more than the one who wins your heart,
just let me love you.

Girl, don’t brag
about your favors,
there are logs that don’t burn,
there are better ones.

If you can’t call me
I don’t really care,
I'll find a way to comfort myself
with someone else.

I want you forever
as my partner,
tell me what you feel,
be honest with me.

I’m alone in my room,
the house is cold,
just me and my thoughts
and no company.

If you can’t love me
it’s not a big deal,
don’t forget you’re breathing
and I can hear you.

After living so close
to the cemetery,
death doesn’t scare me
nor its mystery.

I don’t want comfort,
I want affection,
with my flower in your hair
or in your bra.

I’ll keep waiting for you
because I love you,
and it doesn’t matter how long:
without you, I’m dying.

Your eyes and your ways
make me feel alive,
put on my red carnation,
don’t let it die.

I don’t want you going out
with those you go with,
none of them are worth
what you’re worth.

I’m sending you my heart
with the carnation,
I’m handing it over
together with it.
