Paroles et traduction Alberto Favero feat. Jairo - Te Quiero

Te Quiero

Si te quiero es porque sos
Mi amor, mi cómplice, y todo.
Y en la calle, codo a codo,
Somos mucho más que dos.

Tus manos son mi caricia,
Mis acordes cotidianos*.
Te quiero porque tus manos
Trabajan por la justicia.

Tus ojos son mi conjuro
Contra la mala jornada.
Te quiero por tu mirada
Que mira y siembra futuro.

Tu boca que es tuya y mía,
Tu boca no se equivoca.
Te quiero porque tu boca
Sabe gritar rebeldía.

Y por tu rostro sincero
Y tu paso vagabundo
Y tu llanto por el mundo,
Porque sos pueblo te quiero.

(Y porque amor no es aureola,
Ni cándida moraleja,
Y porque somos pareja
Que sabe que no está sola.)

Te quiero en mi paraíso,
Es decir, que en mi país,
La gente viva feliz
Aunque no tenga permiso.

I Want You

Darling, my soulmate, my everything
You are my partner, the one I can cling to.
We belong side by side, in the street,
Being more than two, always complete.

My carress is your hand,
My daily chords.*
I love you because your hands
Fight for justice, make amends.

Your eyes are my amulet
Against the evil day.
I love you because your gaze
Sees and sows the future's way.

Yours and mine, your mouth so tender,
Never wrong, it's a defender.
I love you because your mouth
Knows the rebel's defiant shout.

And so for your face that's sincere,
And your rambling, vagabond stride,
And your tears for the world, so wide,
Because you're the people's champion, you're my dear.

(Love isn't a halo above,
Or a moral tale, so quaint.
We're a couple who knows that ain't
Alone in this struggle, no faint.)

I want you in my paradise,
In my land of peace, if you please,
Where people live, at their ease,
Without having to ask for permission.
