Lyrics

Español

Amo los andenes de la espera, la poesía de los rieles que la luna replatea... Amo los andenes suburbanos de estaciones patinadas por el tiempo y los olvidos. Amo la garita y las barreras, amo el tren que se despide y amo el tren en que tú llegas.. Y mi vida se ilumina, volvedora golondrina, cuando estás para llegar. Tu amor de golondrina que llega así, en mi ocaso, me hace querer las cosas que no supe querer. Y quiero los lugares donde esperé tu paso con una rosa blanca luciendo en cada sien. Distintas emociones: llegada y despedida, alargada mi sombra en desolado andén, cuando agito mi mano después de tu partida o cuando espero en vano hasta el último tren. Amo los andenes de la espera, las señales en la noche y tus alas de viajera... Celo cuando pienso que otro anhelo te desvíe de mi rumbo y te lleve hacia otro cielo. Lloro de pensar que otro verano un andén abandonado me verá esperando en vano y el dolor se hará presente cuando inexorablemente ya no tenga qué esperar.

English · machine translation

I love the platforms of waiting, the poetry of the rails that the moon is re-laying... I love the suburban platforms of stations skidded by time and forgetfulness. I love the sentry box and the barriers, I love the train that says goodbye and I love the train in which you arrive... And my life is illuminated, returning swallow, when you are there to arrive. Your swallow love that arrives like this, in my twilight, makes me love the things I didn't know how to love. And I want the places where I waited for you with a white rose shining on each temple. Different emotions: arrival and farewell, my shadow lengthened on a desolate platform, when I wave my hand after your departure or when I wait in vain for the last train. I love the platforms of waiting, the signals in the night and your wings of a traveler... Jealous when I think that another longing will divert you from my course and take you to another sky. I weep to think that another summer an abandoned platform will see me waiting in vain and the pain will be present when inexorably I no longer have anything to wait for.
