Dos o Tres Segundos de Ternura
Luis Eduardo Aute
Two or Three Seconds of Tenderness
I'm going through a rough patch
A setback, a hole
I don't know what's happening to me
That I don't even understand myself
I don't feel like anything
Nothing more than being deep inside
But not in your womb
But in your feelings
I wish you knew
That I have no other desire
Than to be in your arms
Like someone asking for comfort
Feeling you all mine
Without lust or mysteries
Like I feel the blood
Flowing through my body
I don't need the Moon
Not even the foam
I only need two
Or three seconds of tenderness
Sometimes I wonder
If I don't respect
The passing of the years
Wearing out our kisses
Just like the waste
Of something more than a lot of time
Without seeing each other for a moment
Beyond the mirrors
That's why I need
Even though I know it's excessive
That your eyes tell me
Something like okay
I'm here by your side
So you don't have to fear
The fear of being alone
Alone in the universe
I don't need the Moon
Not even the foam
I only need two
Or three seconds of tenderness
