Te Doy Una Cancion [English translation]

How much paper I use up remembering you,

How you make me talk in the silence.

How you do not take away my desire

Although no one ever sees me with you.

And how time passes

Suddenly it is years

Since you came by to see me,

And stopped.

I give you a song if I open a door

And you come out of the shadows

I give you a song of dawn,

When I want your light most

I give a song when you appear

The mystery of love

And if you do not appear,

It makes no difference to me

I give you a song

If I look a bit outside, I stop myself

The city collapses and I am singing.

People who hate me and who love me

Will not forgive me

If I allow myself to be distracted.

They believe that I say it all,

That I play for my life,

Because they neither know

Nor feel you.

I give you a song and make a speech

About my right to speak.

I give you a song with my two hands,

With these same hands that kill.

I give you a song and say mother country,

And go on talking for you.

I give a song

Like a gunshot,

A book,

A word,

A partisan

Like I give my love.
