No Pretendo
Gloria Estefan
I Don't Pretend
I don't pretend to be the drop
That spills your silence
Nor do I pretend to be the note
That escapes in your lament
I don't pretend to be the footprint
Left on your path
Nor do I pretend to be the one
Who crosses your destiny
I just want to discover myself
Under the light of your smile
To be the balm that soothes
Your sorrows in life
I just want to be the calm
That slips into your wakefulness
To be the dream where rests
The reason for your desires
It's simply love
When it has broken its chains
To give you the heart
I don't pretend to be your owner
I don't pretend to be the flame
Where you ignite your passions
Nor do I pretend to be the sword
That pierces your mistakes
I don't pretend to be the air
You breathe in the night
Nor do I pretend to be the flesh
That distills your excesses
I just want to be the hand
You hold in your sorrow
To be somewhat that haven
Where disillusion dies
I just want to be the star
Embedded in your gaze
The caress that is given
Without reason and without words
It's simply love
That has found its way
To give you a dream
I don't pretend to make you mine
I just want to be the hand
You hold in your sorrow
To be somewhat that haven
Where disillusion dies
I just want to be the star
Embedded in your gaze
The caress that is given
Without reason and without words
It's simply love
That has found its way
To give you a dream
I don't pretend to make you mine
It's simply love
When it has broken its chains
To give you the heart
I don't pretend to be your owner
It's simply love
