Me Gusta Como Eres (Italiano)
Jarabe de Palo
I Like How You Are (Italian)
Like a paper boat
that sinks when it gets wet,
like a fruit that with every bite
confuses my mind,
like a flame that moves
and never obeys the wind,
I like how you are
like a scale that weighs time
loneliness and silence,
like a hole in the universe
where dreams come from,
like a basket to fill
and never empty,
I like how you are
like a wound inside the heart that doesn't hurt
I like how you are
like a window that even closed lets air pass through
a daughter a mother a woman in my life
like a cloud full of water
that nourishes the dry land,
like the wool that protects me
when winter comes,
like the candle that stays lit
and gives me light in the darkness,
I like how you are
like the road that always takes me
to the exact place I want to reach,
like that place far from the center
where I stop to rest,
like a homeland without a flag
where one can feel free,
I like how you are
