Lyrics
Español
Esta noche tengo ganas de aturdirme de recuerdos con el frío denso y lerdo de las cosas del lugar, recorrer las viejas calles por el tiempo transformadas y entre piedras olvidadas empaparme de arrabal. Me contemplan con asombro las estrellas y esta esquina con perfume de glicinas y colores de malvón... Debo estar acaso viejo, melancólico y más flojo, que me sale por los ojos esta cálida emoción. ¿Dónde están mis amigos, mis amigos de ayer? Se me vieran llegar como un duende y llorar... y llorar al volver. ¿Se perdieron tal vez por un rumbo sin luz, sin destino... sin fe? Por distinto camino me perdí yo también... ¡Si me vieran llegar como un duende y llorar mis amigos de ayer? Para qué llorar ahora lo que el tiempo se ha llevado, si está muerto mi pasado como muerto está mi amor... Una voz canta en mi oído mis canciones olvidadas y la noche perfumada se hace toda una canción... Me entristecen estas calles, las estrellas y la esquina con perfumes de glicinas y colores de malvón... Es que estoy mucho más viejo, melancólico y más flojo y me sale por los ojos hecha llanto mi emoción.
English · machine translation
Tonight I feel like being stunned by memories with the dense and dull cold of the things of the place, to walk through the old streets transformed by time and among forgotten stones soak myself in the slum. The stars and this corner contemplate me with astonishment with the scent of wisteria and the colors of mallow... I must be perhaps old, melancholic and more sluggish, that this warm emotion comes out of my eyes. Where are my friends, my friends of yesterday? If they saw me arrive like an elf and cry... and cry when I come back. Did they perhaps get lost on a course without light, without destiny... without faith? By a different path I got lost too... If they saw me arrive like an elf and cry my friends of yesterday? Why mourn now what time has taken away? if my past is dead as my love is dead... A voice sings in my ear my forgotten songs and the perfumed night becomes a song... I am saddened by these streets, the stars and the street corner with perfumes of wisteria and colors of mallow... It is that I am much older, melancholic and more sluggish and my emotion comes out of my eyes in tears.
