Acuérdate de Abril

Remember April, recall
The clean paleness of its mornings,
Lest winter returns
And the cold tears your soul apart.

Remember April, recall
The light, but the clearest light,
The one my most intimate kiss leaves
Where the most distant mouth is.

Remember me if April reaches you
Lying, faithful and loved in other arms;
Remember me if April returns
With a new suit and a new bow.

Remember me when autumn
Gives way to spring;
Remember me if the thought
Frees you from the love that holds you.

Remember April, recall
My voice singing to your smile;
Remember April, which does not fade away
If there is more distress and less haste.

Remember April, recall
My walk on your skin, barefoot;
Remember April, recall:
My gesture in the first embrace.

Remember me if you are surprised
By the wind that another April brought,
Remember me if you never feel
A kiss that convinces your love.

Remember me, do not leave me
Alone, for this April makes me desperate;
Do not forget that love flies at night
And nests in any other April.
