Aunque No Esté de Moda
Silvio Rodriguez
Even if it's not in fashion
Today from me to you,
today from you to me
I want to give you an old gift
Let's dust off something,
the distant passions
something from those dreams without a window
Let's live continuously, without making poetry,
let's learn words of life.
Let's undress, then,
like old lovers
so that the same old thing
remains in front of us.
Let's undress, then,
like old lovers
let the light go out
and let the sun rise.
I want to save you from your nakedness
in the middle of loneliness.
I want to save myself by making a revolution
from your glass body.
Something is happening to us,
yesterday I read your hand
and each drawing questioned me when I saw it.
something is happening to us,
yesterday I pressed the switch
to turn on the light
and I turned on the sun.
Today from you to me,
today from me to you
let's talk in a very low voice
tell me what's wrong with you, let me lift you up,
let me give you a kiss and heal you
let's live continuously, without making poetry
even if it's not in fashion these days.
Even if it's not in fashion, I ask you for a hand,
my entrails don't understand aesthetics and changes
even if it's not in fashion
repeat with me
I want love, I want love,
I want shared love.
I want to save you from your nakedness
in the middle of loneliness.
I want to save myself by making a revolution
from your body for a change.
Something is happening to us,
a noise like footsteps
comes in the darkness
and then goes away.
Something is happening to us,
since people are determined
to love each other
and to be able to live.
