Atado a Ti
Toño Rosario
Tied to You
What could I do to rip you out of my chest
And turn you into just another of many things
One of many of a thousand whimsical flowers
That didn't manage to shine among my things
But it's hard to bend the feeling
To make the water change the course of the stream
While I pretend you leave my dreams
The more I desire you, the more I long for you, and the more I love you
I'm tied up like a calf with oars
Like a bull in a burrow, like a horse with reins
And sometimes I want to get out of your feeders
But I lack the courage to deny that I love you
It's so hard to pretend to change the course
Of a little heron that came out of the coop yesterday
Like taking away fragrance from the beautiful sky
That God created to make desires shine
But it's hard to bend the feeling
To make the water change the course of the stream
While I pretend you leave my dreams
The more I desire you, the more I long for you, and the more I love you
I'm tied up like a calf with oars
Like a bull in a burrow, like a horse with reins
And sometimes I want to get out of your feeders
But I lack the courage to deny that I love you.
