Translation of Cabras from Spanish to English
This is the last love letter I write to you
Or the first, if you want
And more than a letter, it's a prayer
To ask you to remember
That we met in captivity
When we slept on the floor
When the cold came in through the bars
And we never opened the door
It's not your fault to love so much
Love will never be wrong
To remind you that we met tired
With a contracted back
And you had already learned to lower your weapons
Coming from infinite tenderness
And I had the war embedded
Coming from an abysmal wound
It's not your fault to love me so much
Love will never be wrong
All things have their rhythm
And we were accelerated
When you met me I already had tachycardia
And when I met you
You already felt absolutely alone
It's not our fault to love each other so much
Love will never be wrong
I met you taking care of a piece of sick moon
To which we held a funeral in our backyard
With a shoebox full of bougainvillea
We dug with the back of a chair
And we realized how hard the earth is
It's not your fault to love so much
Love will never be wrong
That's why I write to you
To remind you that we started
Like two goats in the middle of the fire
That we were always in a hurry
Because that's what happens when you're willing
To put your life for what you call home
And because in that house our body was so fleeting
That tomorrow we might not be there
It's not our fault to love each other so much
Love will never be wrong
To remind you that we met threatened with death
And that at any moment someone could come in
Break the lock
Beat us to a pulp
But we had faith
It's not your fault to love so much
Love will never be wrong
To tell you that believing hurts
That trust ages
That it brings you to your knees
That it makes your body stand on the edge
And let itself fall
It's not your fault to love me so much
Love will never be wrong
We never had a date
We met on the run with our faces covered
And you already know about me that I am a cloud
And I already know about you that you are a willow
That it will never be a good time to leave each other
Because the things that break
Never exist again
It's not our fault to love each other so much
Love will never be wrong
You taught me not to be an escapist
To observe how cats live their pain
And that one should not regret love
To tell you that I pray for you as I pray for myself
And I do not regret
It's not our fault to love each other so much
Loving you will never be wrong
I live my pain like cats
I live this disease of not seeing you sleep and I understand it
To tell you that I am preparing my own funeral
Or the funeral of this broken thing
That crashed on the road
It's not our fault to love each other so much
Loving each other will never be wrong
I bury another shoebox
Even if it breaks my arms to dig
Because I don't know how to get out of love whole
But broken
I end up like a snake, what I started as a goat
