Mario Benedetti :D
I'm waiting for you
I wait for you when the night turns to day, sighs of hopes already lost. I don't think you'll come, I know it, I know you won't come.
I know the distance hurts you, I know the nights are colder, I know you're not here anymore. I think I know everything about you. I know that day suddenly turns to night for you: I know you dream of my love, but you don't say it, I know I'm a fool for waiting for you, because I know you won't come. I wait for you when we look at the night sky: you there, me here, longing for those days when a kiss marked the goodbye, perhaps for the rest of our lives. It's sad to talk like this. When day turns to night for me, and the moon hides that radiant sun, I feel alone, I know; I never knew anything so much in my life, I only know that I feel very alone, And that I'm not there. My apologies for feeling this way, it was never my intention to offend you. I never dreamed of loving you, nor of feeling like this. My air runs out like water in the desert, my life shortens because I don't carry you inside. My hope to live is you, and I'm not there. Why am I not there?, you'll ask... Why haven't I taken that bus that would take me to you? Because the world I carry here doesn't allow me to be there, because every night I torture myself thinking of you. Why don't I just forget you? Why don't I just live like this? Why don't I just...?
Let's Make a Deal
When you feel your wound bleeding when you feel your voice sobbing count on me.
(from a song by Carlos Puebla)
Companion, you know that you can count on me, not just up to two or up to ten but count on me.
If sometimes you notice that I look into your eyes, and a trace of love recognizes in mine, don't alert your guns or think I'm delirious; despite the trace, or maybe because it exists, you can count on me.
If other times you find me grouchy for no reason, don't think it's laziness you can still count on me.
But let's make a deal: I would like to count on you, it's so lovely to know you exist, one feels alive; and when I say this I mean to count even if it's just up to two, even if it's just up to five.
Not so you rush eagerly to my aid, but to know for sure that you know you can count on me.
