Para Atravesarnos
Jaime López
To Cross Each Other
Rarely in the city do you see the sky
Hell never needs it
But the day you fell into my life
A lightning bolt split the pavement
I carried the office smell within me
And locked the dead in the bedroom
My window was nothing but a black hole
And that lightning bolt pierced through the curtains
Rarely in the city do you see the sky
And as I walked with my eyes on the ground
It was you who broke that spell
From the underground knot of the subway
That artificial light, that glow
That body in which I immersed myself kiss by kiss
A hotel at the end of the universe
Was the corner where I found paradise
And it rained and I even saw the rainbow
In your shadow that came to lift me up
Soul and soul were seen flying
Beyond the city
To cross each other
To cross each other
Rarely in the city do you see the sky
Why, if above there are only neighbors?
Why, if they can be enemies?
Why, if the roof is falling?
But there will always be a lost castle
In the most polluted of winds
And with you, I bless the confinement
In a room of familiar color
To cross each other
To cross each other
White room, where love lingers
And it's so sweet it's bitter
Upon the body of desire we wish
To never leave here, we wish
To never leave here
To cross each other
Beyond the city
To cross each other
Beyond the city
To cross each other
Beyond the city
