Lyrics of Yolanda - Robert Wyatt

Yolanda (original)

Esto no puede ser no mas que una cancion
Quisiera fuera una declaracion de amor
Romantica sin reparar en formas tales
Que ponga freno a lo que siento ahora a raudales
Te amo
Te amo
Eternamente te amo
Si me faltaras no voy a morirme
Si he de morir quiero que sea contigo
Mi soledad se siente acompañada
Por eso a veces se que necesito
Tu mano
Tu mano
Eternamente tu mano
Cuando te vi sabia que era cierto
Este temor de hallarme descubierto
Tu me desnudas con siete razones
Me abres el pecho siempre que me colmas
De amores
De amores
Eternamente de amores
Si alguna vez me siento derrotado
Renuncio a ver el sol cada mañana
Rezando el credo que me has enseñado
Miro tu cara y digo en la ventana
Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda

(translation)

This can't be just a song
I would like it to be a declaration of love
Romantica without regard to forms such
To put a stop to what I feel now in abundance
Love you
Love you
I love you eternally
If you missed me I will not die
If I have to die I want it to be with you
My loneliness feels accompanied
That's why sometimes I know I need
Your hand
Your hand
Eternally your hand
When I saw you I knew it was true
This fear of finding myself discovered
You undress me with seven reasons
You open my chest whenever you fill me up
Of loves
Of loves
Eternally of love
If I ever feel defeated
I give up seeing the sun every morning
Praying the creed you've taught me
I look at your face and say at the window
Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternally Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternally Yolanda
Eternally Yolanda
