The Moment

Yo era la nocheI was the night
que atravesaba los ojos y las paredesthat pierced the eyes and walls
que te lanzaba tan alto que nunca descendíasthat threw you so high you never came down
Yo era la mesaI was the table
para la comida cuyos recuerdos duran másto the meal whose memories last longer
que las fotografíasthan photographs
Yo era la muñecaI was the doll
ahora solo soy un gigante, quiero que los atardeceres sean tranquilosnow I'm only a giant, I want sunsets to be quiet
tú eras el corazónyou were the heart
que me llevaba en el vientothat carried me on the wind
para tocar la marea al amanecerto touch the tide at dawn
tú eras el primeryou were the first
horizonte que vihorizon that I saw
las conclusiones se desvanecen, olvidadas ahoraconclusions drift, forgotten now

Tú eras el vaso, el vino, el brindis, los labiosYou were the glass, the wine, the toast, the lips
Yo era la lujuria, la necesidad, las sonrisas, los viajesI was the lust, the need, the smiles, the trips
Yo era el momento que te sosteníaI was the moment that held you

Yo era la nocheI was the night
que atravesaba los ojos y las paredesthat pierced tha eyes and walls
que te lanzaba tan alto que nunca descendíasthat threw you so high you never came down

que respondía mis preguntas con un silencio envolventewho answered my questions with silence surrounding

tú eras el impresionable al que le entregué mi tiempoyou were the impressionable one I gave my time to

Tú eras el vaso, el vino, el brindis, los labiosYou were the glass, the wine, the toast, the lips
