Mil Y Una Noche
Rosana Arbelo
A Thousand and One Nights
The first night of each season
I drink it with you
Like that night, it was the first
winter anchored itself in a corner of spring
the nights went by
whole nights passed
A thousand and one nights went by
A thousand and one fairy tale nights
and we uncorked the moon to drink the sky
and we drank the whole world
And we drank the night
and we stayed awake
and lavishing caresses
we toasted only with kisses' water
And we drank the night
and we understood while drinking
that the desire is so great
that it gives us to drink and we remain thirsty
The first night of each season
I drink it with you
Like that summer that was shedding its leaves
promising us a thousand and one nights when it returned
autumn leaves rained down
to warm the winter
A thousand and one nights went by
we didn't want to miss out anymore
and from the four seasons we stole dreamy nights
and we drank the universe
And we drank the night
and we stayed awake
and lavishing caresses
we toasted only with kisses' water
And we drank the night
and we understood while drinking
that the desire is so great...(repeat)
The first night of each season
I wake up with you
