El Breve Espacio En Que No Está Lyrics in English Pablo Milanés
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Breve Espacio En Que No Está by Pablo Milanés from Spanish to English.
El caballero de la salsa
The Gentleman of Salsa
Gilbertico Santa Rosa
Gilbertico Santa Rosa
Todavía quedan restos de humedad
Remains of dampness still linger
Sus olores llenan ya mi soledad
His scents already fill my loneliness
En la cama su silueta
His silhouette in bed
Se dibuja cual promesa
Is drawn like a promise
De llenar el breve espacio en que no estás
To fill the brief space where you're not
Todavía yo no sé si volverá
I still don't know if he'll return
Nadie sabe al día siguiente lo que hará
No one knows what he'll do the next day
Rompe todos mis esquemas
He breaks all my schemes
No confiesa ni una pena
He doesn't confess a single sorrow
No me pide nada a cambio de lo que da
He doesn't ask me for anything in return for what he gives
Suele ser violenta y tierna
It's usually violent and tender
No habla de uniones eternas
It doesn't speak of eternal unions
Mas se entrega cual si hubiera
But it gives itself as if there were
Solo un día para amar
Only one day to love
No comparte una reunión
It doesn't share a meeting
Mas le gusta la canción
But it likes the song
Que comprometa su pensar
That engages its thinking
Todavía no pregunté, '¿Te quedarás?'
I haven't asked yet, 'Will you stay?'
Temo mucho a la respuesta de un jamás
I'm very afraid of the answer of a never
La prefiero compartida
I prefer her shared
Antes que vaciar mi vida
Rather than emptying my life
No es perfecta, mas se acerca a lo que yo
She's not perfect, but she's close to what I
Simplemente soñé
I simply dreamed of
Suele ser violenta y tierna
It's usually violent and tender
No habla de uniones eternas
It doesn't speak of eternal unions
Mas se entrega cual si hubiera
But it gives itself as if there were
Solo un día para amar
Only one day to love
No comparte una reunión
It doesn't share a meeting
Mas le gusta la canción
But it likes the song
Que comprometa su pensar
That engages its thinking
Todavía no pregunté, '¿Te quedarás?'
I haven't asked yet, 'Will you stay?'
Temo mucho a la respuesta de un jamás
I'm very afraid of the answer of a never
La prefiero compartida
I prefer her shared
Antes de vaciar mi vida
Before I empty my life
No es perfecta, mas se acerca a lo que yo
She's not perfect, but she's close to what I
Simplemente soñé
I simply dreamed of
Esto es distinto, se apodera de mis instintos
This is different, it takes over my instincts
Es un laberinto que no tiene salida
It's a labyrinth with no way out
La prefiero compartida como me compartiría ella también
I prefer her shared as she would share me too
Y no lo dudes, mi bien
And don't doubt it, my love
Ella me entrega su amor
She gives me her love
Ella rompe todos mis esquemas
She breaks all my schemes
Y no confesaré una pena
And I won't confess a sorrow
Pablo, camina
Pablo, walk
Así la quiero yo
this is how I love her
Antes de vaciar mi vida
Before I empty my life
Con su amor a medio tiempo
with her part-time love
Llena mi alma vacía
She fills my empty soul
Ella se entrega y me ama
She gives herself and loves me
Pero no me pide nada
But she doesn't ask me for anything
Por no escuchar la palabra nunca
For not hearing the word never
La amo y no hago preguntas
I love her and I don't ask questions
Yo no sé si volverá
I don't know if she'll come back
Ni al día siguiente lo que hará
Or what she'll do the next day
Cuando me siento perdido
When I feel lost
Ella es mi norte y mi guía
She is my north and my guide
Un homenaje que le rindo a la mujer
A tribute I pay to a woman
Su independencia y a su modo de proceder
Her independence and her way of doing things
Es compañera y amante
She is a companion and a lover
Es valiosa como amiga
She is valuable as a friend
Yo sólo sé que la quiero y se acerca
All I know is that I love her and she comes close
A lo que yo simplemente soñé
To what I simply dreamed of
