Quiero [English translation]

I want to show you a path to the sea1

a place that no other has been able to reach,

where the wind is a friend and the breeze is a sigh

that embraces your body, darling; as it passes by.

I want you to keep me company, woman

for my song to awaken asleep on your skin,

and to tell you at your ear, unafraid of forgetting

my verses of love2, my verses of yesterday.

I want to lose myself in your body and anchor,

my vessel unloads its love in your harbor,

I want to write in the sand my cry and my sorrow;

to let the waves carry away my pain.

I want you to keep me company, woman

to share your life with me and then

when the Autumn wind caresses your temples;

we'll be together and united just as we were yesterday.

I want to show you a path to the sea

a place that no other has been able to reach,

where the wind is a friend and the breeze is a sigh

that embraces your body, darling, as it passes by.

I want you to keep me company, woman

for my song to awaken asleep on your skin,

and to tell you at your ear, unafraid of forgetting;

my verses of love, my verses of yesterday.

1. or "I want to show you a way to the sea"2. lit. 'my dear/beloved verses', as in they hold meaning to him
