[English]

I search, I search for a vessel

Where I can place this gift

That I carry in my right hand

And that the spouse says they call love, love, love...

...

Or passion, confusion, or fear,

Or a glass of wine, or a bouquet of flowers

Or a letter that speaks of life in prose

And ends by saying: Forever

...

And if I give you my love

And if I give you my first love

Wrapped in a box

Marked with your name

Screaming forever

And the night before last, amidst stars of whisky

The exhaustion of us both settles on the hard sidewalks

You seemed to me like a jar where I could place it, through kisses

Through the verses that I write for us both

With my mouth shaped like a trumpet

Playing, playing a note on your lower lip

The others burn in the middle of my tongue

And if I give you my love

And if I give you my first love

Wrapped in a box

Marked with your name

Screaming forever

And if I give you my love

And if I give you my first love

Wrapped in a box

Marked with your name

Screaming forever

[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 pasión, confusión o temor,

O una copa de vino, o un ramo de flor

O una carta de diga cosas de la vida en prosa

Y acabe diciendo: Por siempre

Y si te regalo mi amor

Y si te regalo mi primer amor

Envuelto en una caja

Marcada con tu nombre

Gritando para siempre

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 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

Las otras se me queman en la mitad de la lengua

Y si te regalo mi amor

Y si te regalo mi primer amor

Envuelto en una caja

Marcada con tu nombre

Gritando para siempre

Y si te regalo mi amor

Y si te regalo mi primer amor

Envuelto en una caja

Marcada con tu nombre

Gritando para siempre
