quiero ir con aquel a quien amo

Quiero ir con aquel a quien amo.
No quiero calcular lo que cuesta.
No quiero averiguar si es bueno.
No quiero saber si me ama.
Quiero ir con aquél a quien amo.

waiting for the miracle

Baby, I've been waiting,
I've been waiting night and day
I didn't see the time,
I waited half my life away
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some
But I was waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
I know you really loved me
But, you see, my hands were tied
And I know it must have hurt you,
It must have hurt your pride
To have to stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum
And me I'm up there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here
There ain't no entertainment
And the judgments are severe
The Maestro says it's Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
When you're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Waiting for the miracle
There's nothing left to do
I haven't been this happy
Since the end of World War II

Nothing left to do
When you know that you've been taken
Nothing left to do
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you've got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come

I dreamed about you, baby
It was just the other night
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light
The sands of time were falling
From your fingers and your thumb
And you were waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Ah baby, let's get married
We've been alone too long
Let's be alone together
Let's see if we're that strong
Yeah let's do something crazy,
Something absolutely wrong
While we're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Nothing left to do
When you know that you've been taken
Nothing left to do
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you've got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come

When you've fallen on the highway
And you're lying in the rain,
And they ask you how you're doing
Of course you'll say you can't complain
If you're squeezed for information,
That's when you've got to play it dumb
You just say you're out there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

a quiet bug

A quiet bug walks discreetly  
behind a bottle on my
bathroom sink
taking it a little slow  
to not attract attention
when I turn on the

light

después de un tiempo

Después de un tiempo,

uno aprende la sutil diferencia

entre sostener una mano

y encadenar un alma,

y uno aprende que el amor

no significa acostarse

y una compañía no significa seguridad

y uno empieza a aprender.

Que los besos no son contratos y los regalos no son promesas

y uno empieza a aceptar sus derrotas con la cabeza alta y los ojos abiertos

y uno aprende a construir

todos sus caminos en el hoy,

porque el terreno de mañana

es demasiado inseguro para planes…

y los futuros tienen una forma de

caerse en la mitad.

Y después de un tiempo

uno aprende que si es demasiado,

hasta el calorcito del sol quema.

Así que uno planta su propio jardín

y decora su propia alma, en lugar

de esperar a que alguien le traiga flores.

Y uno aprende que realmente puede aguantar,

que uno realmente es fuerte,

que uno realmente vale,

y uno aprende y aprende…

y con cada día uno aprende.
