Yellow Letters

Cartas Amarillas

I dreamed I’d wake up again,Soñé que volvía a amanecer,
I dreamed of autumns long gone.soñé con otoños ya lejanos.
My light has gone out,Mi luz se ha apagado,
my night has come,mi noche ha llegado,
I searched for your gaze but couldn’t find it.busqué tu mirada y no la hallé.
The rain has stopped falling,La lluvia ha dejado de caer,
sitting on the beach of forgetfulnesssentado en la playa del olvido
I shaped in the sandformé con la arena
your calm image,tu imagen serena,
your hair I drew with seaweed.tu pelo con algas dibujé.

And I searched through your yellow lettersY busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
for a thousand I love yous, a thousand caressesmil te quiero, mil caricias
and a flower that between two pagesy una flor que entre dos hojas
fell asleep.se durmió.
And my empty arms closed tightY mis brazos vacíos se cerraban
clinging to nothing,aferrándose a la nada,
trying to hold onto my youth.intentando detener mi juventud.

At last today I’ve returned to the truth,Al fin hoy he vuelto a la verdad,
my empty hands have searched for you,mis manos vacías te han buscado,
the ivy has grown,la hiedra ha crecido,
the sun has gone to sleep,el sol se ha dormido,
I call you but you no longer hear my voice.te llamo y no escuchas ya mi voz.

And I searched through your yellow lettersY busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
for a thousand I love yous, a thousand caressesmil te quiero, mil caricias
and a flower that between two pagesy una flor que entre dos hojas
fell asleep.se durmió.
And my empty arms closed tightY mis brazos vacíos se cerraban
clinging to nothing,aferrándose a la nada,
trying to hold onto my youth.intentando detener mi juventud.
And I searched through your yellow lettersY busqué entre tus cartas amarillas
for a thousand I love yous, a thousand caressesmil te quiero, mil caricias
and a flower that between two pagesy una flor que entre dos hojas
fell asleep...se durmió...
