The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Amor" by Pablo Milanés.

Lyrics

No te pido que te cuides
Esa delgadez extrema
Solo pido que me mires
Con esa mirada buena
Tus ojos no son luceros
Que alumbran la madrugada
Pero si me miran siento
Que me tocas con tus manos
Tus manos no son hermosas
No veo estilo en tus dedos
Pero que humanos reposan
Si se enroscan en tu pelo
Tu pelo ya sin color
Sin ese brillo supremo
Cuida y resguarda con celo
Lo que cubre con amor
Tu cerebro porque piensas
Porque es tu clave y motor
Va generando la fuerza
Que me hace humano y mejor
Cuerpo, manos, ojos, pelo,
Carne y hueso inanimado
Que cobran vida
Y por eso quiero vivir a tu lado

Lyrics translation

I'm not asking you to take care of yourself.
That extreme thinness
I'm just asking you to look at me.
With that good look
Your eyes are not Lights
That light up at dawn
But if you look at me I feel
That you touch me with your hands
Your hands are not beautiful
I don't see style on your fingers.
But that humans rest
If they curl in your hair
Your hair no longer colored
Without that Supreme brilliance
Care and guard zealously
What you cover with love
Your brain because you think
Because it's your key and your engine
It's generating the force
That makes me human and better
Body, hands, eyes, hair,
Inanimate flesh and bone
That come to life
And that's why I want to live by Your Side
