Paroles et traduction Víctor Manuel feat. Pablo Milanés - Amor

Amor

No te pido que te cuides
Esa delgadez extrema.
Solo 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.

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 that you look after yourself,
That extreme thinness.
I only ask that you look at me
With that same kind look.
Your eyes are not stars
That light up the dawn,
But if you look at me, I feel
That you're touching me with your hands.
Your hands are not beautiful.
I see no style in your fingers.
But how human they are
When they're entwined in your hair!
Your hair, now without color,
Without that supreme shine,
Care for and safeguard with zeal
That which it covers with love:
Your brain, because you think,
Because it's your key and motor,
It's generating the strength
That makes me human and better.

Your hands are not beautiful.
I see no style in your fingers.
But how human they are
When they're entwined in your hair!
Your hair, now without color,
Without that supreme shine,
Care for and safeguard with zeal
That which it covers with love:
Your brain, because you think,
Because it's your key and motor,
It's generating 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.
