Amores Platónicos [English translation]

I won't come near

Your garden

I'll never touch

Your flower

The fantasy

That your slight proximity

And its colour gave me

Is better

You never suspected

The metaphor

And what it can achieve

You'll never understand

The lightness

Of that which doesn't know

Where it's going

I prefer platonic love

Consolation of lonely fools

I prefer impossible love

Consolation of having lost too much

And like this with your image

I'll walk hand in hand

For having wanted you

So much

It's better if I unsheathe

A melody

To do the honours

To your fantasy

I prefer platonic love

Consolation of lonely fools

I prefer impossible love

Consolation of having lost too much

What unrest there is

In my heart

And that, without me having

Approached your balcony

Yes, how wonderful is

Disenchantment

Yes it makes everything look

Better imagined

(Better imagined)

I prefer platonic love

Consolation of lonely fools

I prefer impossible love

Consolation of having lost too much
