Lía [English translation]

Weave for me a comforter of velvet from your hair,

That it may guard me from the light,

Should dawn's cold fingers lay me bare

Bind your parted lips to mine, and in night's emptiness, we'll learn,

We're like the fish: for by our mouths we take,

And are taken in our turn

You wove a spider's web of romance

That has tangled up my mind,

That I love you so, with neither reason nor rhyme

You're the one who binds each new day

To the yesterday before.

And with each new day, you entangle me once more.

Tie your double knot around me,

Let your arms of love surround me

Bind me to your breast, don't ever let us part.

You've left me no defenses,

Your kiss has tangled up my senses --

Ah, yes, the ones that rule my heart.

Weave for me a blanket of forgiveness on your part

For furtive glances at your body

A forbidden foray that betrayed my heart.

Bind me to your bedpost for you'll never want to learn

How many loves like this befall us

Only but a single time

Those marks of hot, tender caresses,

Bound in neither guile nor sin:

Like cigarettes, feel their mem'ry burn within your skin

Now you've tangled this, your poor puppet's crosspiece,

Left it knotted on the floor.

With each new knot, you entangle me once more.

Tie your double knot around me,

Let your arms of love surround me

Bind me to your breast, don't ever let us part.

You've left me no defenses,

Your kiss has tangled up my senses --

Ah, yes, the ones that rule my heart.

Bind me to your bedpost for you'll never want to learn

Just how many loves in our lives befall us

Only but this single time

And the marks of our hot, tender caresses,

Bound in neither guile nor sin:

Like cigarettes, feel their mem'ry burn, forever, in your skin.
