[English]

I’m searching, searching for a container

where I can place this present,

this present, that I hold in my right hand

and what my partner calls it—love, love, love...

Or passion, confusion, or fear,

or a glass of wine, or a bouquet of flowers,

or a letter that speaks of the beautiful things in life in prose

and ends by saying: Forever

I give you my first love

(pick up) x2

And the night before last, among stars of whiskey,

the exhaustion of both of us settled on the hard stools,

you seemed like a jar where I could place it, through kisses,

through verses and verses that I write for both of us,

with my mouth shaped like a trumpet,

and it plays, it plays a note on your lower lip,

and the others stay on the tip of my tongue.

I give you my first love

pick up

...

[Spanish]

Busco, busco un recipiente

donde colocar el presente,

precente, que traigo en la mano derecha

y que el conyuge dice que llaman, amor, amor, amor...

O pacion, confucion o temor,

o una copa de vino, o un ramo de flor,

o una carta de diga cosas de la vida bonita en prosa

y acabe diciendo: Por siempre

te regalo mi primer amor

(pick up) x2

Y antier por la noche, entre estrallas de whisky,

el cansansio de ambos, se posa en las duras banquetas,

me paresiste un frasco, donde colocarlo, por medio de besos,

por medio de versos y versos que te hago los dos,

con mi boca en forma de trompeta,

y que toca y que toca una nota en tu labio de abajo,

y las otras se me quedan en la punta de la lengua.

te regalo mi primer amor

pick up
