El Breve Espacio En Que No Estás Lyrics in English Pablo Milanés , Haydée Milanés
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Breve Espacio En Que No Estás by Pablo Milanés from Spanish to English.
Todavía quedan restos de humedad
Traces of dampness still linger
Sus olores llenan ya mi soledad
Her scent already fills my solitude
En la cama su silueta
Her silhouette on the bed
Se dibuja cual promesa
Is drawn like a promise
De llenar el breve espacio
To fill the brief space
En que no está
Where she isn't
Todavía yo no sé si volverá
I still don't know if she'll return
Nadie sabe, al día siguiente, lo que hará
No one knows what they'll do the next day
Rompe todos mis esquemas
She breaks all my patterns
No confiesa ni una pena
She doesn't confess a single sorrow
No me pide nada a cambio de lo que da
She doesn't ask for anything in return for what she gives
Suele ser violenta y tierna
To what I simply dreamed of
No habla de uniones eternas
She can be both violent and tender
Mas se entrega cual si hubiera
She doesn't speak of eternal unions
Sólo un día para amar
But she gives herself as if there were
No comparte una reunión
Only one day to love
Mas le gusta la canción
She doesn't share a gathering
Que comprometa su pensar
But she likes the song
Todavía no pregunte «¿te quedarás?»
I still haven't asked "Will you stay?"
Temo mucho a la respuesta de un «jamás»
I'm terrified of the answer "never"
La prefiero compartida
I greatly fear the answer of "never"
Antes que vaciar mi vida
I prefer her shared
No es perfecta, mas se acerca
Rather than emptying my life
A lo que yo simplemente soñé
She isn't perfect, but she comes close
Suele ser violenta y tierna
To what I simply dreamed of
No habla de uniones eternas
She can be both violent and tender
Mas se entrega cual si hubiera
She doesn't speak of eternal unions
Sólo un día para amar
But she gives herself as if there were
No comparte una reunión
Only one day to love
Mas le gusta la canción
She doesn't share a gathering
Que comprometa su pensar
But she likes the song
