30 Años
José María Napoleón
30 Years
Because there are not enough words to tell you,
because there are plenty of reasons to explain to you.
Because I count the days from here until May,
because life goes by, and I keep loving you.
Because my hands tremble when yours
give me a contraband caress.
Because life makes sense for you,
because I love you so much, because I miss you.
And then you arrived, and with you opened up,
again to life, my tired arms;
and then you arrived, and the cold went away,
sorrows ended, and in the warmth of your lips
love was born, like never before
in my 30 years.
Because with nothing I can buy what you have given me,
but if it serves for something, what I have gained
without even thinking, I would change everything
to share life by your side.
And then you arrived, and with you opened up,
again to life, my tired arms;
and then you arrived, and the cold went away,
sorrows ended, and in the warmth of your lips
love was born like never before
in my 30 years.
