Sí, mi caballero [English translation]

Yes, my cowboy*, I would very much like to be

The white dust which follows your herd;

Yes, my cowboy, it would be enough

To be the blade of grass which clings to your skin.

That white house, surrounded by flowers,

During your absence, is like a tomb.

If I were dust, I would follow you;

If I were a blade of grass, you would carry me.

I would make myself sweet at the gates of sleep;

I would make myself a spring when the sun burns.

Yes, my cowboy, it would be enough

to be a drop of water on your dry lips.
