Cinnamon Skin

May the firmament lose all of its stars,

Or may the wide sea lose its vastness,

But the blackness of your eyes must never die

And the cinnamon of your skin must stay the same.

If the rainbow would exist without its beauty

And the flowers with no scent and no color

My sadness would not be as nearly vast

As that of being left without your love.

I care about you, and you, and you,

and no one else but you, and you, and you

I care about you, and you, and you,

And no person but you.

Black eyes, cinnamon skin

That make me fall into despair.

I care about you, and you, and you,

and no one else but you, and you, and you

I care about you, and you, and you,

And no person but you.
