Lyrics of El Breve Espacio en Que No Estás - Piero, Pablo Milanés

El Breve Espacio en Que No Estás (original)

Todavia quedan restos de humedad
Sus olores llenan ya mi soledad
En la cama su silueta
Se dibuja cual promesa
De llenar el breve espacio en que no esta
Todavia yo no sé si volvera
Nadie sabe al dia siguiente lo que hara
Rompe todos mis esquemas
No confiesa ni una pena
No me pide nada a cambio de lo que da
Suele ser violenta y tierna
No habla de uniones eternas
Mas se entrega cual si hubiera sólo un dia para amar
No comparte una reunión
Mas le gusta la canción
Que comprometa su pensar
Todavia no pregunté te quedaras
Temo mucho a la respuesta de un jamas
La prefiero compartida
Antes de vaciar mi vida
No es perfecta mas se acerca
A lo que yo… Simplemente soñé

(translation)

There are still traces of moisture
Their scents already fill my loneliness
In bed his silhouette
It is drawn as a promise
To fill in the brief space in which it is not
I still don't know if I'll come back
Nobody knows the next day what he will do
Break all my schemes
He does not confess a single sentence
He does not ask me for anything in exchange for what he gives
It is usually violent and tender
It does not speak of eternal unions
But he gives himself as if there were only one day to love
Does not share a meeting
The more you like the song
That compromises your thinking
I haven't asked yet, will you stay?
I am very afraid of the answer of a never
I prefer it shared
Before I empty my life
It's not perfect but it's close
To what I… I just dreamed
