Qué se Puede Hacer Con el Amor?
Silvio Rodriguez
What Can You Do With Love?
What can be done with love
what can be done if it's a matter of it
what can be done if affection always turns out so well
Havana, day of a year,
waiting on the corner
almost a girl
shortens her skirts at the waist
that were already short for her parents
waiting for a high school boy
to see no one at home
and thus they account for a good love
for a single love
What can be done with love
what can be done if it's a matter of it
what can be done if affection always turns out so well
Spain, day of a year,
on a Sunday morning
after the sermons
at the back of the church
after hearing what sin is
the two lovers move aside
and only follow their hearts
and thus they account for a good love
for a single love
What can be done with love
what can be done if it's a matter of it
what can be done if affection always turns out so well
The world, day of a year,
how many lovers hold hands
without seeing distances
nor fences, nor seas, nor long years
in the face of prejudices they look beautiful
and say that in the end
they are never too late
for a love to make them happy
and thus they account for a good love
for a single love
What can be done with love
what can be done if it's a matter of it.
