Amor de Umbral
Gilberto Santa Rosa
Threshold Love
What kind of hard metal,
Is your heart made of,
That you yank away,
My hopes?
Suddenly and without a sign,
You change like a chameleon
You swear passionately, that you love me.
I'm a fish on the hook of your whims
Drowning in the choppy sea of your eyes
Torturing me, with your hesitation
Calming me down, when you give me warmth
Addicted to your voice,
And the vice of your arms
Captive in the net, of your love,
In pieces
Bleeding out, with your absurd fear
Begging for your crumbs of love
(BRIDGE)
Love, you always leave me on the threshold
Today you give me a grain of sand,
And tomorrow a grain of lime.
Love, you always leave me on the threshold
You don’t close the door on me,
But you don’t let me in.
Love, you always leave me on the threshold
How can you give me honey today,
And tomorrow give me salt?
Love, you always leave me on the threshold
You don’t close the door on me,
But you don’t let me in.
(MUSIC)
(CHORUS)
A grain of sand, and a grain of lime
You drive me crazy, leaving me on the threshold.
You must have ice in your veins,
And a heart of metal.
A grain of sand, and a grain of lime
You drive me crazy, leaving me on the threshold.
Why do you play with my love,
And I go along with the game?
A grain of sand, and a grain of lime
You drive me crazy, leaving me on the threshold.
Addicted to your kisses, and your love in pieces,
It’s the only thing you give me.
A grain of sand, and a grain of lime
You drive me crazy, leaving me on the threshold.
You give me sugar,
Then you put salt on my wounds.
(MUSIC)
(CHORUS)
A grain of sand, and a grain of lime
You drive me crazy, leaving me on the threshold.
You tear my hopes out by the roots
I don’t even know what to think.
A grain of sand, and a grain of lime
You drive me crazy, leaving me on the threshold.
Then you say you love me,
From night to morning, everything stays the same.
A grain of sand, and a grain of lime
You drive me crazy, leaving me on the threshold.
Sugar and salt, sand and lime.
Love, you always leave me on the threshold
Today you give me a grain of sand,
And tomorrow a grain of lime.
Love, you always leave me on the threshold
You don’t close the door on me,
But you don’t let me in.
(MUSIC)
