Háblame de Colores
Pablo Milanés
Talk to Me About Colors
Black like the start of our beautiful love,
White like the fate I gave you,
Black like the signs that favor
Being the target of the kisses I deserved.
White like the scourge of our century, amen
Black like the shot that killed me
White like the night that will end
Black like my flag for peace.
Black and white sum up our pain
Black and white unite us to begin
To clean the whiteness that in its place
Will leave all the black for love.
Talk to me about colors around you
Of the color of the flowers I once gave you
Make sure my loves don’t fade away
Eternal kaleidoscope to live happily.
