Paroles et traduction Javier Krahe - Tal como eres

Tal como eres

No me importa que seas besucona
Ni que juegues conmigo a las sirenas
Ni que seas tan lista y tan persona
Ni que rías mis gracias y sonrías mis penas.
No me importa que estés tan disponible
Ni que tengas la piel así de suave
Ni que seas bebible y comestible
Ni que tengas tu piso y me dejes la llave.
Te tendré que aceptar tal como eres.
No me importa que sepas de cocina
Ni que cuajes de flores tu terraza
Ni tus dotes medidas de adivina
Para hacer sugerencias o para no meter baza.
Te tendré que aceptar tal como eres:
Una de esas mujeres
Que ocurren en la vida
Enigmas como tú para mi voz de amante
Contante
Sonante
No darla por perdida.
No me importa saber lo que no dices
Mientras pintas tus labios de camelia
Ni me importa que te intelectualices
Y me leas de todo, que pareces Babelia.
No me importa el silencio que desnudas
Cuando estoy ya despierto y tú aún dormida
Ni me importa el runrún con que saludas
Y recreas el mundo, recién amanecida.
Te tendré que aceptar tal como eres.
No me importa que digas que me quieres
Ni que vuelvas la espalda a tus ideas
Cuando me hablas de mil amaneceres
Sin salir de mis brazos, aunque no te lo creas.
Te tendré que aceptar tal como eres:
Una de esas mujeres
Que ocurren en la vida
Regalos como tú
Para mi voz de amante
Contante
Sonante
No darla por perdida.
Te tendré que querer tal como eres,
Me tendrás que aceptar tal como soy.

Just the Way You Are

I don't mind that you're a sloppy kisser
Or that you play games with me like a siren
Nor that you're so smart and so human
Or that you laugh at my jokes and smile at my sorrows.
I don't mind that you're so available
Or that you have such soft skin
Nor that you're both drinkable and edible
Or that you have your own apartment and leave me the key.
I'll have to accept you just the way you are.
I don't mind that you know how to cook
Or that you fill your terrace with flowers
Nor your measured skills of divination
For making suggestions or for not interfering.
I'll have to accept you just the way you are:
One of those women
Who happen in life
Enigmas like you for my lover's voice
Constant
Sounding
Not to give it up for lost.
I don't mind knowing what you don't say
While you paint your lips with camellia
Nor do I mind that you intellectualize
And read from everything to me, it seems, from Babel.
I don't mind the silence that you strip bare
When I'm already awake and you're still asleep
Nor do I mind the hum with which you greet
And recreate the world, freshly dawned.
I'll have to accept you just the way you are.
I don't mind that you say you love me
Or that you turn your back on your ideas
When you speak to me of a thousand dawns
Without leaving my arms, although you may not believe it.
I'll have to accept you just the way you are:
One of those women
Who happen in life
Gifts like you
For my lover's voice
Constant
Sounding
Not to give it up for lost.
I'll have to love you just the way you are,
You'll have to accept me just the way I am.
