Amor
Pablo Milanes · En Vivo Desde New York [2005]
esa delgadez extrema
solo pido que me mires
con esa mirada buena
Tus ojos no son luceros
que alumbran la madrugada
pero si me miran siento
que me tocas con tus manos
Tus manos no son hermosas
no veo estilo en tus dedos
pero que humanos reposan
si se enroscan en tu pelo
tu pelo ya sin color
sin ese brillo supremo
cuida y resguarda con celo
lo que cubre con amor
tu cerebro porque piensas
porque es tu clave y motor
va generando la fuerza
que me hace humano y mejor
Cuerpo, manos, ojos, pelo,
carne y hueso inanimado
que cobran vida
y por eso quiero vivir a tu lado
Amor
