Mi refugio

The sweet enchantment with which I inebriated my youth
with which I inebriated my youth,
those madcap escapades
are over, never to return.
I'm not that cheerful little boy
who took everything for a laugh,
because I'm on my way to being a daddy.
to buy babies and to be a "good gentleman".

I knew,
to toast with idolatry,
with affection and joy
the yearnings of my love.
I was always,
I was noble and I was generous,
and in my golden bohemia
along with pleasure came sorrows,
next to pain I knew joys
and now that I am a well-rounded song
I seek the warmth of a loving home.

Nice
refuge of my loves,
surrounded by beautiful flowers
where a love vibrates.
Always,
I will always seek in your shelter
for my old age the repair,
for the pain the sweet soothing
of your fragrant lily scent,
where is the beautiful, white and good soul
of that woman who is pure as the sun.

And now that I am a big and serious young man
who wears a tuxedo and a jaquet
that everyone calls me "Don Fulano"
it frightens me to think what I was yesterday...
I'm getting older
and you have to hold the engine
to live the noble and healthy life
of my refuge, which is my dream of love.
