Yolanda

This is a great song from the era of Cancion de protesta and is very special to me because Yolanda was my mother's name.

YOLANDA


Esto no puede ser no mas que una cancion
Quisiera fuera una declaracion de amor
Romantica sin reparar en formas tales
Que ponga freno a lo que siento ahora a raudales
Te amo
Te amo
Eternamente te amo
Si me faltaras no voy a morirme
Si he de morir quiero que sea contigo
Mi soledad se siente acompañada
Por eso a veces se que necesito
Tu mano
Tu mano
Eternamente tu mano

Cuando te vi sabia que era cierto
Este temor de hallarme descubierto
Tu me desnudas con siete razones
Me abres el pecho siempre que me colmas
De amores
De amores
Eternamente de amores
Si alguna vez me siento derrotado
Renuncio a ver el sol cada mañana
Rezando el credo que me has enseñado
Miro tu cara y digo en la ventana
Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternamente
Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda
Eternamente Yolanda

This cannot be just another song
I wish it were a declaration of love
Romantic without falling into stereotypes
That stops what I now feel in torrents
I love you
I love you
Eternally I love you
If you were not here I would not die
If I were to die I want to die with you
My solitude is always accompanied
That’s why sometimes I know I need
Your hand
Your hand
Eternally your hand
When I saw you I knew it was true
This fear of finding me exposed
You undress me with seven reasons
You open my chest always when you shower me
With love
With love
Eternally with love
If one day I feel defeated
I renounce to see the sun every morning
Praying the creed that you have taught me
I see your face and say in the window
Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternally Yolanda
Yolanda
Eternally Yolanda
Eternally Yolanda
