Te Doy Una Canción
Luis Eduardo Aute
I Give You a Song
How I waste paper remembering you
How you make me talk in the silence
How I can't get rid of the desire for you
Even though no one ever sees me with you
And how time goes by, suddenly it's been years
Without you passing by me, stopped
I give you a song if I open a door
And from the shadows you come out
I give you a song in the early morning
When I most want your light
I give you a song when you appear
The mystery of love
And if you don't appear, I don't care
I give you a song
If I look outside a little, I stop
The city is crumbling and I'm singing
The people who hate me and who love me
Won't forgive me for getting distracted
They think I say it all, that I risk my life
Because they don't know you or feel you
I give you a song and I make a speech
About my right to speak
I give you a song with my two hands
With the same ones that can kill
I give you a song and I say: 'homeland'
And I keep talking to you
I give you a song like a shot
Like a book, a word, a guerrilla
Like I give love
