Sombra Y Luz

Shadow And Light

Sombra Y Luz

Today I wake up, like a shipwreck survivor,Hoy me levanto, como quien naufraga,
Alone and soaked with sea perfume,Solo y empapado con perfume a mar,
As if you were in another hemisphereComo si estuvieras en otro hemisferio
And I couldn't sail you anymore.Y yo no alcanzara a navegarte más.

And I've looked out my window,Y me he asomado a mi ventana,
As if what I see behind is mine.Como si fuera mío lo que veo detrás.
But landscapes, love, have no owner.Pero los paisajes, amor, no tienen dueño.
No matter how much I look at you, you won't be mine.Por mucho que te mire mía no serás.

I'll only confess it once,Tan sólo lo confesaré una vez,
There's something about you to declareHay algo en ti que declarar
Something escapes me in the melancholy.Algo se me escapa en la melancolía.
The hour that learned to fly.La hora que aprendió a volar.

And love is not perfect,Y es que el amor no es perfecto,
It's an uncertain hallway,Es un pasillo incierto,
With its shadow and its light.Con su sombra y con su luz.
If it's our love, when youngSi es nuestro amor, de pequeño
It's an uncertain landscapeEs un paisaje incierto
With its ups and downs.Con su cara y con su cruz

We're not prepared for all of this,No estamos preparados para todo esto,
We were, but not anymore.Lo estabamos, pero ya no.

Today our love, without prospect,Hoy nuestro amor, sin prospecto,
Is like a loose verse, uncertainEs como un verso suelto, incierto
With its shadow and its light.Con su sombra y con su luz.

Today I woke up with a shipwreck survivor,Hoy me ha levantado con quien naufraga,
But there are latitudes where the sun shines,Pero hay latitudes donde brilla el sol,
If another lantern goes out and the soul lights up,Si apaga otro farol y se enciende el alma,
The moon is alone outside on the balcony.Sola esta la luna afuera en el balcon.

Then I realize once,Entonces me doy cuenta de una vez,
That I just want to sail,Que sólo quiero navegar,
And something ignites inside my anatomyY algo se me enciende dentro de mi anatomia
The waves don't know how to swim.Las olas no saben nadar.

Because love is not perfect,Por que el amor no es perfecto,
It's an uncertain hallway,Es un pasillo incierto,
With its shadow and its light.Con su sombra y con su luz.
And love, it's in the windY es que el amor, va en el viento
It's always open seaVa siempre mar abierto
With its shadow and its light.Con su sombra y con su luz.

We're not prepared for all of this.No estamos preparados, para todo esto.
We were, but not anymore.Lo estabamos, pero ya no.

Today our love, is no longer oursHoy nuestro amor, ya no es nuestro
This uncertain path continuesEste seguir incierto
With its shadow and its light.Con su sombra y con su luz

And love,Y es que el amor,
That I wantQue yo quiero
Is beautiful like a portEs bello como un puerto
In the middleEn medio
Of the shadow and the light.De la sombra y de la luz

Of the shadow and the light.De la sombra y de la luz.
