Para Una Despedida
Si llegó la despedida
Si es momento de volar
No retrases tu salida
Cuida bien de tus valijas
Y no vayas a llorar
No te olvides de los viejos
No les vayas a llamar
Pon en órden tu librero
Saca al gato y baña al perro
Que tambien te extrañarán
Tal vez suene un tanto idiota
Que te diga que el rencor
De los pleitos cotidianos
Por usar tu ropa a cuadros
Me parecen tontos hoy
Por supuesto te agradezco
Ese disco en navidad
Tus lecciones sobre sexo
Y la complicidad de un beso
Que a un hermano no se da
Si la voz se te quebrara
Porque no puedes fingir
Dime que es catarro agreste
Que de eso nadie muere
Y que es hora de partir
No detengo más tu viaje
Y aunque sé que aprenderé
A vivir sin tu presencia
Que llenó mi adolescencia
Sé que no...
Sé que no te olvidaré
For a Farewell
If the farewell has come
If it's time to fly
Don't delay your departure
Take care of your suitcases
And don't you dare cry
Don't forget about the old folks
Don't you dare call them
Organize your bookshelf
Take out the cat and bathe the dog
They will miss you too
It might sound a bit stupid
That I tell you that the resentment
From everyday fights
Because you wore checkered clothes
Seem silly to me today
Of course, I thank you
For that Christmas album
Your lessons on sex
And the complicity of a kiss
That a brother doesn't give
If your voice were to break
Because you can't pretend
Tell me it's a harsh cold
That no one dies from that
And that it's time to leave
I won't hold back your journey anymore
And even though I know I'll learn
To live without your presence
That filled my adolescence
I know that I won't...
I know that I won't forget you
