Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

I have a loveTengo un amor

That the good lord above cannot fathomQue el buen Señor arriba no puede comprender

Yet it's rationedSin embargo, está racionado

You don't seem to want itNo pareces quererlo

But if pain wears you thinPero si el dolor te consume

I could color you in , take the grey awayPodría colorearte, quitar el gris

If you'd let me staySi me permitieras quedarme

if you'd let us beginSi nos permitieras empezar

Know there is puritySabe que hay pureza

bestowed on you and meconcedida a ti y a mí

I don't believe they'd hate usNo creo que nos odiarían

In the face of loveAnte el amor

How to make you conceiveCómo hacerte concebir

There is community in each otherQue hay comunidad en el otro

Was it your father, or was it the doctor¿Fue tu padre, o fue el doctor

Or the institutionO la institución?

But if prayer wears you thinPero si la oración te consume

Or the wrath of your kinO la ira de tus parientes

I'll take the shame awayQuitaré la vergüenza

If you'd let me staySi me permitieras quedarme

If you'd let us beginSi nos permitieras empezar

Know there is puritySabe que hay pureza

bestowed on you and meconcedida a ti y a mí

I don't believe they'd hate usNo creo que nos odiarían

In the face of loveAnte el amor
