Tu Perro
Andrés Lewin
Your Dog
You and the sea.
Me sunbathing on the sand.
You hopping back.
Me trying to remember how spring was.
Alone, you and I,
you fell asleep between my legs.
I think how lucky I am,
I who am not who I am,
I who am what you want
and where you tell me to go.
And that's why I'm always
on the edge of the path you step on the earth.
Always at your disposal,
I'm your dog and I'm not leaving.
I will always be the friend you ask me to be.
I'll bark with love
and you'll feel sorry.
Dying of love,
I ask the tide:
Are you a bitch like me,
who comes and goes so the moon loves you?
"Look how cool,
I want to see this movie".
You ask if I can join.
No need to ask,
I was born so you can chase away loneliness.
Call me to meet.
Tell me how it went with the one who tells you he loves you.
And if then upon waking he doesn't want to know more,
you call me and at the cinema we'll look at the posters.
Where you tell me to go,
and that's why I'm always
on the edge of the path you step on the earth.
Always at your disposal,
I'm your dog and I'm not leaving.
I will always be the friend you ask me to be.
I'll bark with love
and you'll feel sorry.
