Tu y Yo
Julio Jaramillo
You and Me
Your forehead shines like a flame
Mine is pale and wilted
You are peace, I am anguish
I the abyss, you the summit
You are sweet enchantment
And bitter pain you gave me
You are the springtime
I the dark and sad winter
They’re like calm skies
Your eyes are like suns
But they light up my soul
With their thorns
If you are the Sun
Eternal in my longing
Why don’t you melt
The ice of my winter?
This deep love of my life
For a frozen heart
Is like a flower
That has bloomed
Over the pain of a wound
Sometimes I want to forget you
Kill this tender passion
But how can I not adore you?
How, my heart, can I leave you?
Without your love, oh eternal night
Love, heavenly fire
Holy flame of my ideal
You are my torture
But you are also my beacon
Without you, life would be
My desert
Sweet eyes
Always ignite my love
Even if pain has set
Its thorns
In the bonfire of love
Like the mud of dark water
Cup of heaven
The glow, its bitterness idolizes its sweetness
In the night of my sorrow
With the dawn of my charm
Look how much I love you
My dark-haired girl
