| Déjame tomarte de la mano | Let me enfold your hand within my own, |
| Déjame mirarte a los ojos | Let me gaze, unblinking, into your eyes’ clear well, |
| Déjame a través de mi mirada | Let my own vision be a window— |
| Darte todo mi esplendor | Through which my splendor pours like dawn’s aureole for you. |
| Déjame quedar aquí | Let me remain, a shadow at your threshold, |
| Déjame besarte ahí | Let me touch you with a kiss, secret as midnight rain, |
| Donde guardas tus secretos | Where your mysteries are hidden— |
| Los más oscuros… | The ones as dusk-laden as the winter woods, |
| Y los más bellos | And those that gleam, rare as starlight on new snow. |
| Te regalo mis piernas… | I give you my legs—two pillars carved from living oak, |
| Recuesta tu cabeza en ellas | Lay your weary head upon their steadfastness, |
| Te regalo mis fuerzas | I give you my strength, forged in long rivers’ flow, |
| Úsalas cada que no tengas | Draw from it whenever yours runs dry, |
| Te regalo las piezas… | I offer you the fragments— |
| Que a mi alma conforman | The tesserae that shape the mosaic of my soul, |
| Que nunca nada de haga falta a ti… | So want will never darken your home, nor hunger find you… |
| Te voy a amar hasta morir… | I will love you to the dusk of my last breath… |
| Te voy a amar hasta morir | I will love you to the dusk of my last breath. |
| Déjame jugar contigo | Let me be your playmate in the golden field, |
| Déjame hacerte sonreir | Let me conjure laughter from your silent lips, |
| Déjame darte de mi dulzura | Let me pour out my sweetness, thick as summer honey, |
| Pa' que sientas lo que sentí | So you might taste what I once tasted, bitter and bright. |
| Déjame cuidarte | Let me be your guardian, |
| Déjame abrazarte | Let me cradle you in arms that remember storms, |
| Déjame enseñarte todo lo que tengo | Let me reveal the hoard of all I possess— |
| Pa' hacerte muy feliz | Only to make your spirit brim with gladness. |
| Te regalo mis piernas… | I give you my legs—two pillars carved from living oak, |

| Úsalas cada que no tengas | Draw from it whenever yours runs dry, |
| Te regalo las piezas… | I offer you the fragments— |
| Que a mi alma conforman | The tesserae that shape the mosaic of my soul, |
