El Breve Espacio En Que No
Pablo Milanes/Silvio Rodriguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sus olores llenan ya mi soledad
En la cama su silueta
Se dibuja cual promesa
De llenar el breve espacio
En que no está
Todavía yo no sé si volverá
Rompe todos mis esquemas
No confiesa ni una pena
No me pide nada a cambio de lo que da
Suele ser violenta y tierna
No habla de uniones eternas
Mas se entrega cual si hubiera
Sólo un día para amar
No comparte una reunión
Mas le gusta la canción
Que comprometa su pensar
Todavía no pregunte «¿te quedarás?»
Temo mucho a la respuesta de un «jamás»
La prefiero compartida
Antes que vaciar mi vida
No es perfecta, mas se acerca
A lo que yo simplemente soñé
Suele ser violenta y tierna
No habla de uniones eternas
Mas se entrega cual si hubiera
Sólo un día para amar
No comparte una reunión
Mas le gusta la canción
Que comprometa su pensar
In "Breve Espacio en Que No Estás," Pablo Milanés sings about the lingering presence of a past lover in his life. He begins by describing the remnants of her in his physical space, noting that her scent fills his solitude and her silhouette remains etched in his bed as a promise to fill the void that she left. He then transitions to discussing his uncertainty about her return, recognizing that no one can know what the future holds. Despite the ambiguity, he acknowledges that she breaks down all of his preconceived notions and doesn't burden him with her own pains.
Milanés continues to paint a complex picture of this woman, noting her capacity for both violence and tenderness, and her reluctance to commit to long-term unions. He acknowledges that she loves music that challenges her thinking, and that she doesn't require societal norms like gatherings to feel fulfilled. In the final verse, he reveals his own fears of asking her to stay and the fact that he prefers to share her over being empty without her. He recognizes that she isn't perfect, but that she gets closer to fitting the dream he's always had. Overall, "Breve Espacio en Que No Estás" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and the lingering impact that past relationships can have on our lives.

Todavía quedan restos de humedad,
sus olores llenan ya mi soledad,
en la cama su silueta
se dibuja cual promesa
de llenar el breve espacio
en que no está...
Todavía yo no sé si volverá,
nadie sabe, al día siguiente, lo que hará.
rompe todos mis esquemas,
no confiesa ni una pena,
no me pide nada a cambio
de lo que dá.
Suele ser violenta y tierna,
no habla de uniones eternas,
mas se entrega cual si hubiera
sólo un día para amar.
No comparte una reunión,
mas le gusta la canción
que comprometa su pensar.
todavía no pregunté «¿te quedarás?».
temo mucho a la respuesta de un «jamás».
la prefiero compartida
antes que vaciar mi vida,
no es perfecta
mas se acerca a lo que yo
simplemente soñé...
