However far away
I will always love you.
However long I stay
I will always love you.
Whatever words I say
I will always love you...

The Cure, "Love Song" (Gallup, O'Donnell, Smith), 'Disintegration' 1989.

The head is where the cricket sings.
The cheeks are what the teeth will bite.
The lake is where the lover flings
the other in the dead of night.
The lips are where the blood goes in.
The eyes are what the fingers claw.
Knowing now what might have been,
Will the lips tell what the eyes saw?

..........La cabeza es donde el grillo suena
..........Las mejillas donde morderán los dientes.
..........El lago donde el amante arroja
..........Al otro cuando muere la noche.
..........Los labios son donde la sangre va.
..........Los ojos, lo que apresan los dedos.
..........Sabiendo entonces lo que pudo ser,
..........¿Dirán los labios lo que vieron los ojos?

...........................................Paul Bowles, "Love Song", 1910 - 1999.
