Translation of the song lyrics Yo Me Quedo - Pablo Milanés

Yo Me Quedo (original)

¿Qué casa te albergará
En qué esquina haz de párarte
Qué barrio recorrerás
Para hallarte?
¿Qué vecino te hablará
Qué compadre irá a buscarte
Qué amigo compartirás
Para entregarte?
Yo me quedo con todas esas cosas
Pequeñas, silenciosas
Con esas yo me quedo
Ya no quiero hablarte de otras cosas
Más dignas, más hermosas
Con esas yo me quedo
¿Qué verde ha de deslumbrarte
Qué tierra con su humedad
Sus olores, su humildad
Va a faltarte?
¿Qué mares han de bañarte
Y qué sol te abrazará
Qué clase de libertad
Van a darte?
Yo me quedo con todas esas cosas
Pequeñas, silenciosas
Con esas yo me quedo
Ya no quiero hablarte de otras cosas
Más dignas, más hermosas
Con esas yo me quedo

Yo Me Quedo (translation)

which house will house you
What corner do you stand on?
What neighborhood will you visit?
to find you?
Which neighbor will speak to you
What compadre will go looking for you
which friend will you share
To give you?
I keep all those things
small, quiet
With those I stay
I no longer want to talk to you about other things
More worthy, more beautiful
With those I stay
What green should dazzle you
What land with its humidity
His smells, his humility
Will you be missing?
What seas will bathe you
And what sun will embrace you
what kind of freedom
Are they going to give you?
I keep all those things
small, quiet
With those I stay
I no longer want to talk to you about other things
More worthy, more beautiful
With those I stay
