One Thousand Women, None Like You by Alejandro Mujica-Olea - HTML preview

WHERE ARE YOU?

Ariadne, Ariadne, Ariadne,

Where are you?

My voice does not reach you,

and it is not easy to find you.

I saw your face in every woman,

without realizing that you were not there.

I am the one who dreams of freedom,

Captain of an illusionary sailboat.

I am like those

who continue to love you,

under the sky and on the sea,

forever and beyond time.

I am a poet, bohemian, embosser,

cook, painter and dreamer,

looking for your real love.

Food, wine and love are enough to make me happy

as I observe how the snow falls

or how the autumn leaves fall.

I am a wanderer and I live in peace.

I don’t need much.

I entertain myself

writing poems for you,

dreaming of your love.

I am a wanderer and I live in peace.
