Yo te esperaba [English translation]

I was waiting for you,

and I saw my body grow,

as I looked for

the name that I gave to you.

In the mirror

I was the full moon in profile.

With you inside,

I was never so happy.

I was dying to feel

your fragile little legs,

kicking the darkness

inside of my mature belly.

It costs nothing to dream, no,

and with my watery eyes,

I saw you so tall, even

at the top of the world.

I was waiting for you,

imagining blindly the color

of your gaze,

and the tone of your voice.

I was scared to death,

I begged Heavens to let you

go far,

further than I did.

I was waiting for you,

and I painted on the walls

of your room

stories in color.

I non-stop counted

each day in the calendar.

Only you could cure

how much I missed the stage.

The world is the way it is,

and I can't change it for you,

but I'll be always with you

to give you a hand.

I was waiting for you,

imagining blindly the color

of your gaze,

and the tone of your voice.

Now that I have you,

I beg Heavens to let me see you

go far,

further than I did.

I was waiting for you,

and the mirror looked at us, while

I already loved you.
