jealousy
Original in Spanish
There is a beast asleepinside of me
Beneath my skin the beast lives,breathing my air,and watching you with my eyesin silence…
Woe to himwho comes near you!
For the beast awakens,stirs, grows furious,and takes hold of me,longing to tear to pieceswith its claws the one who dared…
A beast is sleepingin the warmth of my chest
That beast has my heart,that beast has my blood,that beast would kill for you
And you, my beauty,incandescent amazon,tempt the beast,gauging its keenness,and stirring up its fury,like a plaything for your whims
Do not defy the beast,my sweet beloved,do not provoke its wrathnor awaken its instinct…
it can kill us both,in its jaws of fire!
