Volver

Return

Volver

I can guess the flickerYo adivino el parpadeo
Of the lights in the distanceDe las luces que a lo lejos
Marking my returnVan marcando mi retorno

They are the same that illuminatedSon las mismas que alumbraron
With their pale reflectionsCon sus pálidos reflejos
Deep hours of painHondas horas de dolor

And although I didn't want the returnY aunque no quise el regreso
You always returnSiempre se vuelve
to the first loveAl primer amor

The old streetLa vieja calle
Where I take shelterDonde me cobijo
Its life is yoursTuya es su vida
Its desire is yoursTuyo es su querer

Under the mockingBajo el burlón
Gaze of the starsMirar de las estrellas
Who with indifferenceQue con indiferencia
Today see me returnHoy me ven volver

To returnVolver
With a wrinkled foreheadCon la frente marchita
The snows of timeLas nieves del tiempo
Have silvered my templesPlatearon mi sien

To feelSentir
That life is a breathQue es un soplo la vida
That twenty years is nothingQue veinte años no es nada
That the feverish gazeQue febril la mirada
Wandering in the shadowsErrante en las sombras
Seeks you and names youTe busca y te nombra

To liveVivir
With the soul clingingCon el alma aferrada
To a sweet memoryA un dulce recuerdo
That I cry once againQue lloro otra vez

I am afraid of the encounterTengo miedo del encuentro
With the past that returnsCon el pasado que vuelve
To confront my lifeA enfrentarse con mi vida

I am afraid of the nightsTengo miedo de las noches
That, filled with memoriesQue pobladas de recuerdos
Shackle my dreamingEncadenen mi soñar

But the traveler who fleesPero el viajero que huye
Sooner or laterTarde o temprano
Halts his journeyDetiene su andar

And although forgetfulnessY aunque el olvido
That destroys everythingQue todo destruye
Has killed my old illusionHaya matado mi vieja ilusión

I keep hiddenGuardo escondida
A humble hopeUna esperanza humilde
That is all the fortuneQue es toda la fortuna
Of my heartDe mi corazón

To returnVolver
With a wrinkled foreheadCon la frente marchita
The snows of timeLas nieves del tiempo
Have silvered my templesPlatearon mi sien

To feelSentir
That life is a breathQue es un soplo la vida
That twenty years is nothingQue veinte años no es nada
That the feverish gazeQue febril la mirada
Wandering in the shadowsErrante en las sombras
Seeks you and names youTe busca y te nombra

To liveVivir
With the soul clingingCon el alma aferrada
To a sweet memoryA un dulce recuerdo
That I cry once againQue lloro otra vez
