Sweet Orange
I've been thinking about your proposal
to make love before marriage.
You tell me it doesn't make a difference,
almost no one thinks and everyone does!
And I tell you that I've thought a lot
and didn't disregard your feelings.
But I confess that this silly story
of imitating others has disturbed my peace!
Sweet orange is also sweet at the moment,
but soon after it tastes too bitter.
When a couple rushes this feeling,
the bitter taste is the woman's, who suffers more!
The bitter taste is the woman's, who suffers more!
You tell me you have no patience:
That you've waited long enough and live in agony.
And that nowadays,
those who wait too long,
end up alone,
end up in solitude!
And I tell you it's not out of fear,
nor cowardice or just because it's a sin.
I would like you to know
that I have the right to have an illusion!
Sweet orange is also sweet at the moment,
but soon after it tastes too bitter.
When a couple rushes this feeling,
the bitter taste is the woman's, who suffers more!
The bitter taste is the woman's, who suffers more!
Your dream is short, thick, and very low:
You want to be my partner and it has to be now!
And you repeat to me that I'm outdated,
and live in the past and that morals have changed.
And I tell you that my dream is different:
I want to have you, but I have my time!
In your clock, every hour is the right time
but in my clock, the time has not come!
Sweet orange is also sweet at the moment,
but soon after it tastes too bitter.
When a couple rushes this feeling,
the bitter taste is the woman's, who suffers more!
The bitter taste is the woman's, who suffers more!
