Otra Vez

I come back to your side again
because I lack the courage to face the years...
My feet bleed tired
from wandering aimlessly and rolling along a thousand strange paths!
I don't know if I was afraid of the silence of my room
that listened in the shadows to the reproaches of your voice...
I have not been able, since then, to chase away this sadness
that always, always accompanies my wounded heart!

You see... I am changed! I have a fever in my eyes
I have spent so many nights talking to pain...
Without thinking that, in the meantime, you were consequently waiting for me
with a prayer between my lips and a sigh in your forgiveness.
I have come from so far away dragging my hope
to tell you of my sorrows... Of that abyss in which I sank!
But what!... If your dark circles so deep from weeping
make me see that it was not so much my torment and my suffering.

Seeing you, life, I don't know
how I could have lived without the warmth of your kisses...
As I walked away I thought
that far away I was going to forget... and I thought even more when I was far away.
Grave of my sorrows, blue chest of my caresses
the warmth of this nest that my spirit sheltered...
A sensation of peace and relief that your smile gives me
while your pupils bathe two tears of love.
