Los Que Se Aman

When you fall in love
You cover yourself in glory with borrowed clothes,
You steal poems and claim they're yours
And you keep love letters in boxes.

When you fall in love
You want a honeymoon every minute
And the distractions that are also yours
And you wrap jealousy in cellophane.

Those who love each other give kisses
One by one, if there are spies
By the hundreds if they're not being watched
More than the sky.
Those who love each other send messages
On radio programs
Or on the bark of some tree
On their street.
Those who love each other, those who love each other, those who love each other...

When you fall in love
It's not enough to just hold hands,
Nor are hands enough for hugs,
And even over the phone, love slips away.
Those who love each other give kisses
One by one, if there are spies
By the hundreds if they're not being watched
More than the sky.

Those who love each other send messages
On radio programs
Or on the bark of some tree
On their street.
They even devour love,
With lipstick,
Or on a lonely bench,
In a square in life.
Those who love each other give kisses...
