ABRÁZAME
Richard Anthony
HOLD ME
Hold me and don't say anything,
Just hold me.
Your gaze is enough for me
To understand that you will leave.
Hold me as if it were now
The first time,
As if you loved me today
Just like yesterday.
Hold me.
If you leave, you will forget
That one day long ago
When we were still children
You began to love
And I gave you my life, you leave.
If you leave, nothing will be ours,
You will take in just one moment
An eternity.
I will be left with nothing to give.
Hold me and don't say anything,
Just hold me.
I don't want you to go
But I know very well that you will leave.
Hold me as if it were now
The first time,
As if you loved me today
Just like yesterday.
Hold me.
If you leave, silence will remain
To converse.
The shadow of your body and loneliness
Will be my companions, if you go.
If you leave, time will go with you
And my best age.
I will keep loving you more each day.
I will wait for you to return, if you go.
Hold me as if it were now
The first time,
As if you loved me today
Just like yesterday.
Hold me.
