A Mi Lado
Pablo Milanés
By My Side
Lie by my side on this night
Where loneliness already unites us.
Lie by my side on this night
To be able to wake up tomorrow.
Don't give me love
If you don't feel it.
Don't give me
An alienated body.
Give your heart
For one night,
Your warmth, your silence, your gaze.
Don't delay as the cold is seeping in
The sorrow that comes with the wind.
Let's flee from the street that kills us
Like two outcasts of these times.
I won't offer you new pleasures
Not even convincing coins.
I offer to accompany the dawn
That I believe you feel and I feel.
When the morning finally comes
And other days, come to give
The light of a new breath
This night will be like a feeling
That I haven't felt
In this life.
