Llegaste a Mi Cuerpo Abierto
Pablo Milanés
You Came to My Open Body
You came to my open body
And I gave myself completely,
No matter how much I laughed, cried
Because breaking is a beginning,
Starting is a mistake,
Stepping on soft terrains
And even if I sink into the mud
I will walk a long way.
Maybe they are illusions
Because if something happens
I won't keep quiet,
Nor will you make concessions,
Love that includes forgiveness
Is bound to end badly.
When someone else's hope
Is embedded in your future,
I strive to see you laugh
To fully know you,
I strive and find good
Your soul and I come to think
That love and beauty go
Against bad ideas.
If one day this dream
That I have lived were to end,
I am very grateful to you,
I never thought I would love like this:
It's worth more, a little with desire
Than a lot, without being loved.
