Lyrics

Español

Mucho tiempo después de alejarme, vuelvo al barrio que un día dejé... con el ansia de ver por sus calles mis viejos amigos, el viejo café. En la noche tranquila y oscura hasta el aire parece decir: "No te olvides que siempre fui tuya y sigo esperando que vuelvas a mí". En esta noche vuelvo a ser aquel muchacho soñador que supo amarte y con sus versos te brindó sus penas... Hay una voz que me dice al oído : "Yo sé que has venido por ella... por ella !". Qué amable y qué triste es a la vez la soledad del arrabal con sus casitas y los árboles que pintan sombras. Sentir que todo... que todo la nombra, ¡qué ganas enormes me dan de llorar! Bajo el cielo cubierto de estrellas una sombra parezco al pasar... No he de verme jamás con aquella ¡qué tanto mi quiso... y hoy debo olvidar! En la noche tranquila y oscura hasta el aire parece decir: "Para qué recordar que fui tuya si yo ya no espero que vuelvas a mí!".

English · machine translation

A long time after moving away, I return to the neighborhood I once left... with the longing to see in its streets my old friends, the old café. In the quiet and dark night even the air seems to say: "Don't forget that I was always yours and I'm still waiting for you to come back to me". In this night I am again that dreamer boy who knew how to love you and with his verses gave you his sorrows... There is a voice that says in my ear: "I know that you have come for her... for her". How kind and how sad it is at the same time the solitude of the suburb with its little houses and the trees that paint shadows. To feel that everything... everything names her, what a great desire to cry! Under the sky covered with stars I look like a shadow as I pass by... I will never see myself with the one Who loved me so much... and today I must forget! In the quiet and dark night even the air seems to say: "Why remember that I was yours if I no longer expect you to come back to me!
