¿Cómo He Podido Estar Sin Ti?
Gilberto Santa Rosa
How Could I Have Been Without You?
I lift the veil of silence
And in one syllable you take away
My anxieties
Gentle caress that lifts me,
That I like.
I don't know you
And already in love
I'm dying.
I discover the fire of your courage
And I wonder why didn't I have you always?
If it's in your eyes where I arrive again
To understand that I can love eternally.
How could I have been without you?
How can one breathe in the void?
How does one live with the soul in the abyss
Without the inexhaustible warmth of your embrace?
How could I have been without you?
How can one navigate without your affection
If there will be nothing beyond being with you?
I would prefer to shipwreck
Into oblivion.
I steal a kiss
From your lips
And the sweet smell
Of your innocence perfumes me
You have become the reason
For my existence.
I will never know how to live
Without your presence.
How could I have been without you?
How can one breathe in the void?
How does one live with the soul in the abyss
Without the inexhaustible warmth of your embrace?
How could I have been without you?
How can one navigate without your affection
If there will be nothing beyond being with you?
I would prefer to shipwreck
Into oblivion.
