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 take care of yourself
That extreme thinness
I only ask that you look at me
With that kind look

Your eyes are not stars
That light up the dawn
But when you 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 rest
If they are entwined in your hair

Your hair, now without color
Without that supreme shine
Care for and protect with zeal
What covers with love

Your brain, because you think
Because it is your key and your engine
It generates the force
That makes me human and better

Body, hands, eyes, hair
Flesh and bone, inanimate
That come to life
And that is why I want to live by your side
