I ache to express myself in Spanish
And show my love for you
Because "I love you"
Does no justice
When I want to say "Te amo"
When love in English is filled with questions
And Spanish love is everlasting
When in the world of English
Words mix and spiraling out of control
Leaving me wondering where I stand
While Spanish speaks of fairy-tales
Ones in which I am yours and you are mine
In Spanish
I find words that convey what I wish to say
Floating on the clouds
Soaring to the sun
And in English
I'm left tumbling in the dirt, falling behind
Watching as you walk across the water
Waiting for me to follow
Knowing well enough I will sink
So I sing my lullaby to you in Spanish
Waiting for you to ask
To mix our worlds together
And translate in a language you'll understand
