Petra Berger - Portrait Of Love текст песни

Petra has dedicated this song on her second album to the great mexican painter Frida Kahlo. There is a "bridge" sunged in Spanish.

A shade of pain,
a body ripped apart,
a broken heart,
raging like fire in an iron frame

And here you are,
the man who's loved me more,
hurt me more,
when passion outbalanced your shame

How could I've resisted
comfort I missed,
a promise of exctasy,
made my body dream,
run from agony…
But how I love you,
For what you are,
not for what you are not.
In spite of ourselves I can see,
you've painted a portait of love
for me.

A shade of pain,
a marriage torn apart,
a broken heart,
boldly displayed in a wooden frame

And there he was,
This understanding man,
with tender hands,
Respect so much stronger than shame.

We thrived on emotion,
taking no notion,
of feelings except our own.
Sad, but in the end,
everyone's alone…
But how I love you,
For what you are,
not for what you are not.
In spite of ourselves I can see,
You've painted a portait of love
for me.

Esta noche m'emborrachу,
Frida, Mi arbol de la Esperanza
nina de mi corazуn,
maсana serб otro dia, mantente firme!
y veran que tengo razon!

How I love you,
For what you are,
not for what you are not.
In spite of ourselves I can see
You've painted a portait of love
for me
