La Ofrenda
Jaime López
The Offering
Seeming to hear you talk about sweet fatigue
Of fulfilled pleasure from an unknown place
I turned off the lamp and from afar came a scent
Of incense that came to ignite me
You who got lost to finally find yourself
And there are smoke signals from some alley
I only know that you exist wherever you are, you excite
And you are the queen and the rest, what do I know
If someone dares to pursue, pursue you like a pawn
To protect a checkmate
To protect a checkmate from the unhappy one
They say the mind is a battlefield
And very insane to desire to take it
Madness traps with its guardian cats
The thief who tries to desecrate beyond
I have no doubt that your body is a temple
I have no doubt that upon entering I feel God
In other words, if the altar is the bed
You are the deity and I am the offering
No, I don't want to convince anyone
Convince them of what I know
Let the insecure preach
Let the insecure preach about their faith
I have no doubt that your body is a temple
I have no doubt that upon entering I feel God
In other words, if the altar is the bed
You are the deity and I am the offering
No, I don't want to convince anyone
Convince them of what I know
Let the insecure preach
Let the insecure preach about their faith
No, I don't want to convince anyone
Convince them of what I know
Let the insecure preach
Let the insecure preach about their faith
No, no no, I don't want to convince anyone
Convince them of what I know
Let the insecure preach
Let the insecure preach about their faith
No, I don't want to convince anyone
Convince them of what I know
Let the insecure preach
Let the insecure preach about their faith
