Agua y Aceite
Franco Escamilla
Water and Oil
You see a seed, I see possibilities
We are like the space between the Apennines and the Andes
You see a smile, I see an illusion
You see an old story, I see a song
You see a glance, I see the strength my being craves
We are like oil and water, you see verses, I see poetry
You see a guitar, I see my element
I see my partner, you just my instrument
You see sunsets, I see the birth
I see the light of the sky, you just the firmament
You see a man crying, I see his way of speaking
We are such different beings, you are sky and I am sea
Why can't you see the sky as I do?
Because you see with your eyes, I with my heart
Because I see the sky crying and you just see rain
Because you only observe drops, I water that quenches my thirst
Because we are so different, because I see even with my eyes closed
And with everything, and that, I love you!
I see independence, you just fantasy
You see the repentant, I see hypocrisy
You see the Moon halfway, I see my mother smiling at me
I see love growing and you look at me without feeling
You see me playing guitar, I see myself crying oceans
I see us meant for each other and you see unequal signs
You see a bohemian, I see a warrior
I see a master, you just a beggar
You see a word, I see my sustenance
I see a caress, you just a movement
You see an old table, I see a battlefield
How could I fall in love, if we are water and oil?
Why can't you see the sky as I do?
Because you see with your eyes, I with my heart
Because I see the sky crying and you just see rain
Because you only observe drops, I water that quenches my thirst
Because we are so different, because I see even with my eyes closed
And with everything, and that, I love you!
Water and oil, and I, I love you!
