Pra Você Guardei o Amor
Ana Cañas
For You I Saved Love
For you I saved the love
That I never knew how to give
The love I had and saw without letting me
I felt, without being able to prove
Without giving
And sharing.
For you I saved the love
That I always wanted to show
The love that lives in me, come visit
Smile, come color, sunny
Come warm
And allow.
Who welcomes what it has and brings
Who understands what it says
In the chalk of the gesture
The ready way of blinking eyelashes
That the invitation of silence
Displays in every look.
I saved
Without having a reason
Or for any other thing.
Besides not knowing how to do
To have my own way of showing myself.
I found, seeing in you
And explanation, none of this requires.
If the heart beats strongly and burns
In the fire the ice will burn.
For you I saved the love
That I learned watching my parents
The love I had and received
And today I can give freely and happily
Sky smell and air in the color
That the rainbow scratches as it levitates.
I will be born again
Pencil, building, Tevere, bridge
Drawing on your hip
My lips kiss signs
Like bells I trace childhood
I weave the cradle of your home.
I saved
Without having a reason
Or for any other thing.
Besides not knowing how to do
To have my own way of showing myself.
I found, seeing in you
And explanation, none of this requires.
If the heart beats strongly and burns
In the fire the ice will burn.
