Paroles et traduction Mario Benedetti - Te Quiero

Te Quiero

Tus manos son mi caricia,
Mis acordes cotidianos;
Te quiero porque tus manos
Trabajan por la justicia.
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 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 por que tu boca
Sabe gritar rebeldía.
Si te quiero es porque sos
Mi amor mi cómplice y todo.
Y en la calle codo a codo
Somos mucho más que dos.
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 aurora,
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 vive feliz
Aunque no tenga permiso.
Si te quiero es por que sos
Mi amor, mi cómplice y todo.
Y en la calle codo a codo
Somos mucho más que dos.

I Love You

Your hands are my caress,
My everyday chords;
I love you because your hands
Work for justice.
If I love you it's because you are
My love, my accomplice, and everything.
And in the street side by side
We are much more than two.
Your eyes are my spell
Against the bad day;
I love you for your look
That looks and sows the future.
Your mouth which is yours and mine,
Your mouth doesn't make mistakes;
I love you because your mouth
Knows how to shout rebellion.
If I love you it's because you are
My love my accomplice and everything.
And in the street side by side
We are much more than two.
And for your sincere face.
And your wandering step.
And your tears for the world.
Because you are people I love you.
And because love is not dawn,
Nor a candid moral,
And because we are a couple
Who knows that we are not alone.
I love you in my paradise;
That is to say, in my country
Where people live happily
Even if they don't have permission.
If I love you it's because you are
My love, my accomplice, and everything.
And in the street side by side
We are much more than two.
