Fuimos

We Were

Fuimos

I was like a rain of ashes and wearinessFui como una lluvia de cenizas y fatigas
in the resigned hours of your life...en las horas resignadas de tu vida...
Drop of vinegar spilled,Gota de vinagre derramada,
fatally spilled, over all your wounds.fatalmente derramada, sobre todas tus heridas.
You were, because of me, a swallow in the snowFuiste por mi culpa golondrina entre la nieve
dead rose by the cloud that doesn't rain.rosa marchitada por la nube que no llueve.
We were the hope that doesn't come, that doesn't reachFuimos la esperanza que no llega, que no alcanza
that can't glimpse its gentle evening.que no puede vislumbrar su tarde mansa.
We were the traveler who doesn't plead, who doesn't pray,Fuimos el viajero que no implora, que no reza,
who doesn't cry, who gave up to die.que no llora, que se echó a morir.

Go away...!¡Vete...!
Don't you understand that you're killing yourself?¿No comprendes que te estás matando?
Don't you understand that I'm calling you?¿No comprendes que te estoy llamando?
Go away...!¡Vete...!
Don't kiss me, I'm crying for youNo me beses que te estoy llorando
And I wish I didn't cry for you anymore!¡Y quisiera no llorarte más!
Don't you see?,¿No ves?,
it's better that my paines mejor que mi dolor
be left behind with your lovequede tirado con tu amor
freed from my final lovelibrado de mi amor final
Go away!,¡Vete!,
Don't you understand that I'm saving you?¿No comprendes que te estoy salvando?
Don't you understand that I'm loving you?¿No comprendes que te estoy amando?
Don't follow me, don't call me, don't kiss me¡No me sigas, ni me llames, ni me beses
don't cry for me, don't want me anymore!ni me llores, ni me quieras más!

We were embraced by the anguish of a premonitionFuimos abrazados a la angustia de un presagio
in the night of a road with no way out,por la noche de un camino sin salidas,
pale remains of a shipwreckpálidos despojos de un naufragio
shaken by the waves of love and life.sacudidos por las olas del amor y de la vida.
We were pushed in a desolate wind...Fuimos empujados en un viento desolado...
shadows of a shadow returning from the past.sombras de una sombra que tornaba del pasado.
We were the hope that doesn't come, that doesn't reach,Fuimos la esperanza que no llega, que no alcanza,
that can't glimpse its gentle evening.que no puede vislumbrar su tarde mansa.
We were the traveler who doesn't plead, who doesn't pray,Fuimos el viajero que no implora, que no reza,
who doesn't cry, who gave up to die.que no llora, que se echó a morir.
