No me digas que no
Sergio Dalma
Don't tell me no
I swear by the legs of my bed
That even though they seem like nothing,
They hold me when I sleep,
That if you stay by my side today
I'll climb like a slave
Up your back and your chest.
I swear by the cover of my pillow,
Which is my most silent lover
And shares my secrets,
That if you stay by my side today
I'll fight like a soldier
In a war of kisses.
Don't tell me no, not you,
That the heart can't bear so much loneliness.
Don't tell me no, not today.
That I need a dream to go on.
Don't tell me no,
That I'm dying.
I swear by the most famous gods,
The ones we all know
in gaseous state,
That if you stay by my side today
I'll be the spring
that dawns before your eyes.
I swear by the diluted shadow,
The one that always accompanies me
even if I don't ask for it,
That, like a Samaritan, if you stay
I'll entwine myself in your hips
like I cling to life.
Don't tell me no, not you,
That the heart can't bear so much loneliness.
Don't tell me no, not today.
That I need a dream to go on.
Don't tell me no,
That I'm dying.
