Paroles et traduction Pablo Milanés - Amor

Amor

No te pido que te cuides
Esa delgadez extrema,
Sólo pido que me mires
Con esa mirada buena.
Tus ojos no son luceros
Que alumbran la madrugada
Pero si me miran siento
Que me tocas con tus manos.
Tus manos no son hermosas
No veo estilo en tus dedos
Pero que humanos reposan
Si se enroscan en tu pelo.
Tu pelo ya sin color
Sin ese brillo supremo
Cuida y resguarda con celo
Lo que cubre con amor.
Tu cerebro porque piensas
Porque es tu clave y motor
Va generando la fuerza
Que me hace humano y mejor.
Cuerpo, manos, ojos, pelo,
Carne y hueso inanimados
Que cobran vida
Y por eso quiero vivir a tu lado.

Love

I don't ask you to worry about
That extreme thinness,
I only ask that you look at me
With that kind look.
Your eyes are no longer stars
That light up the dawn
But when they look at me, I feel
That you are touching me with your hands.
Your hands are not beautiful
I see no style in your fingers
But how human they feel
When they curl through your hair.
Your hair, now without color
Without that supreme shine
Carefully guard and protect
What love covers.
Your mind, because you think
Because it is your key and your engine
It generates the strength
That makes me human and better.
Body, hands, eyes, hair,
Inanimate flesh and bone
That come to life
And that's why I want to live by your side.
