Te Quiero
Celeste Carballo
I Want You
If I love you it's because you are
my love, my partner and everything
and in the street side by side
we are much more than two
we are much more than two
Your hands are my caress,
my everyday chords
I want you because your hands
campaign for justice
Your eyes are my spell
against the bad day
I love you for your gaze
that looks and sows future.
Your mouth that is yours and mine
your mouth does not make mistakes
I want you because your mouth
knows how to shout rebellion.
If I love you it's because you are....
And for your sincere face
and your wandering step
and your tears for the world
because you are the people I love.
And because love is not a halo
or innocent moral
and because we are a couple
that knows it is not alone.
I want you in my paradise
that is to say in my country
where people live happily
even without permission.
If I love you it's because you are....
