Por Qué No
Emmanuel
Why Not
How many times have I lost you on my lips
How many times like a madman since I was born
I searched for you in the outermost, the farthest
I looked everywhere and you were inside me
A sharp, thin four-blade dagger
Came to cut off my breath in one blow
Came to leave hope dead in my hands
Wanted to leave my life filled with pain
Why not, why not, why not, why not
Why didn’t I search in your breeze
Why didn’t I search in your love
You loved me from the depths of your sky
And a drop from your eyes made me sink
I who wandered in darkness searching for my soul
And in your arms, you kept it to give it peace
You carry love loose from your hair
Sliding your sweetness over me, screaming
I look back at the sky
It looks so clear
Who would’ve thought this fear did me so much harm
Why not, why not, why not, why not
Why didn’t I have you before
Why didn’t I know how to love you
Why not the light of my Moon
And now I know, that everything in you, and only in you
