Vivir en Buenos Aires
Eladia Blázquez
Living in Buenos Aires
I know that every day I reinvent you in me...
I know that somewhere else I can't live.
But don't you know well
that no one loves you like I do...
like I do!
¡Buenos Aires!...
It's useless to breathe in another air,
I'm forever under your spell,
Buenos Aires,
with the indifference that’s in you...
So many times,
I've felt pain in a place that resembles you
and I've wished so many times,
many times,
that such pain didn't exist.
¡Buenos Aires!
I don't want to wake up in another dawn,
nor feel that a piercing nostalgia
is tearing my heart apart.
¡Buenos Aires!
In your port, I want to tie my old boat,
choose you forever as my home
and carry your song like a brand...
¡Buenos Aires!
My tenderness is a wave that embraces you
that feeds on your bread with a taste of home
and dies of love, for you...
