Yo No Necesito de Mucho
Laura Itandehui
I Don't Need Much
I don't need much
So little do I need
A little soap to wash the clothes
And a long string
For the clothesline
Where I can hang my white blouses
While I wrap myself in your black eyes
I don't need much
So little do I need
A little stove to make oatmeal
A bit of cinnamon
And fragrant herbs
Boil the coffee water
While your voice quietly accompanies me
Larara rará tará tará tarai lará rararai
Truly, it's so little
What I need
I never had a fondness for materials
Don't be surprised when I explain
That mine is a different kind of ambition
But don't believe me, I'll show you
With the following example
I only need two sticks to mark the beat
Someone to inspire me
And a little bit of voice
I don't need much
So little do I need
A coat for when it's windy
Chamomile and honey to sweeten the tea
A clock to help me be on time
And wake up early to go see you
I don't need much
So little do I need
Some flowers to decorate my home
And a broth for when I feel unwell
Two small glasses of wine to toast
And small cups for when there's mezcal
Lalarará rarai
Or you'll see
