Ya Que Te Vas a Ir

Since you're going to leave,
give me a dawn
near the fire of your skin or
the warmth of your pillow.

I want to say goodbye,
between white sheets
with an unforgettable night
of poisoned passion.

I will surrender to you,
with an open heart
till the sun rises
till the fire goes out.

Since you're going to leave,
give me this night
I will love you endlessly
I will engrave in you
my soul and my name.

Since you're going to leave,
I will ask time
to stop beating
I will say goodbye
till my body can take it,
I will die in you.

Since you're going to leave,
do it with the memory
that I loved you with feeling
till the last breath.
