Siempre

Nobody knew your name.
Nobody knew why a heart
when it burns can’t have a name.

Only at night
forbidden loves know the truth:
two bodies embracing
as if they were glass.

Joy is coming, handing out crowns.
Open wide the doors of life.
And let the rivers be covered in flowers.

Let the bells ring,
white as a lily of affection,
delicate perfume.

Flee poison, thorns, and snakes.
There’s not a single lover in the world
who doesn’t stop when they hear your voice.

Death was looking for you and I just smiled
because death knows that you’re called always.

Always, always the garden of my agony,
fugitive star of my fate.

Always, always deep in yellow
the invisible music that wounds us.

Your lips on my lips,
my love will return the light that words hold.

And an unstoppable bud every day,
your same face yesterday, tomorrow, now, and always.
