El Amor Imposible
Horacio Ferrer
The Impossible Love
Ah, the impossible love: feel the joy,
The days and the house already know it,
There won't be another hug or breakfast,
That the body understands well, nothing at all!
From today, the word will die.
Tomorrow is a hole in the dark.
And you and I, my love, who would have thought,
The two of us, two again, what does anyone know?
You leave completely like a lid without an eye,
My heart fell for a leg,
Our fate screamed from the full cardboard
Of an epitaph inside a bud.
And still, what good luck in all this pain:
Think about what it would have been like if we hadn't loved.
