Carta A Francia

From the place where I'm ALWAYS thinking of youDesde el sitio en donde SIEMPRE estoy pensando en ti
with my eternal stubbornness,con mi eterna obstinacion,
and noting what I feel is happening to us herey anotando lo que siento que nos pasa aqui
even if it's not the bestaunque no sea lo mejor

How I miss youComo te extraño
and how I'm afraid of losing my stepsy como tengo miedo de perder mis pasos
of losing somewhere my promisesde extraviar en algun lado mis promesas
and my dreamsy mis sueños
Which will be the best path?¿Cual sera el mejor camino ?
everyone says, this one will take you...todos dicen, este si te va a llevar...

More and more people are approachingCada vez son muchos mas los que se acercan
people always applaud and,la gente siempre aplaude y,
I fear so much to realize that they only condescendtemo tanto darme cuenta que tan solo condesciendan
with my way of looking without knowing for surecon mi modo de mirar sin saber a ciencia cierta
if they share what I say, if indeedsi comparten lo que digo, si en verdad
they are with me, if they give the importanceestan conmigo, si conceden la importancia
and the value that I also give them....y el valor que les concedo yo tambien....

Today I need the whole night to tellHoy necesito toda la noche para contar
what I have writtenlo que he escrito
about those who tradeacerca de los que comercian
with simple and recycled musiccon la musica sencilla y reciclada
and that never says anything,y que nunca dice nada,
is it that they have nothing to saysera que no tienen nada que decir
how I would like to see that the artistcomo quisiera, ver que el artista
is looking for a wayesta buscando la manera
to talk about everythingde hablar de todo
that has become important and yetlo que se ha vuelto importante y aun asi
it's never enough,nunca es bastante,
we still lack and how much we lack to sing...aun nos falta y vaya si nos falta tanto a que cantar...

In the world I only see two extremesEn el mundo solo miro dos extremos
today and you so far from herehoy y tu tan lejos de aqui
the nostalgia will leave me with the summerla noStalgia se me ira con el verano
when you come....cuando vayas a venir....

How I miss youComo te extraño
and how I'm afraid of losing the stepsy como tengo miedo de perder los pasos
of losing somewhere the promisesde extraviar en algun lado las promesas
and the dreamsy los sueños
Which will be the best path?¿ cual sera el mejor camino ?
I'm sure you would say to take that oneestoy seguro que dirias que tome aquel
that takes me further...el que me lleve mas lejos...

I haven't been able to say everything I think about you,No he sabido decir todo lo que pienso en ti,
nor have I been able to talk about love,ni he sabido hablar de amor,
I have so much to tell you that I have lost and can't findtengo tanto que contarte que he perdido y que no encuentro
and among some of these things the freshness with which I had my plansy entre algunas de estas cosas la frescura con que IDeE mis planes
the first time, I lost the surprise with which I discovered in the moonla primera vez, he perdido la sorpresa con que descubri en la luna
my head, if it went thinking of you, and even the pleasure ofmi cabeza, si se fue pensando en ti, y hasta el gusto de
being irresponsible how heavy the words weigh whenser un irresponsable como pesan las palabras cuando
one walks behind and when it's me who hasmarcha uno detras y cuando soy yo quien tiene
to say them I hope that tonight at leastque decirlas ojala y que en esta noche cuando menos
your reproach would reach me where I amme llegara tu reproche a donde estoy
in case there was more to say than what I said and alsopor si habia mas que decir de lo que he dicho y tambien
in case what was said could have been said betterpor si lo dicho se pudo decir mejor
but you're not here...pero no estas...

And those who come are not here to forgive my personal shortcomingsY los que vienen no estan para perdonarme mis carencias personales
rather they come to tonight's concert, expecting the best...mas bien vienen al concierto de esta noche, esperando lo mejor...

And my head is in so many places, I sing for so many peopleY yo tengo la cabeza en tantos lados, canto para tanta gente
and now I think so much of you and yet my heart reaches mey ahora pienso tanto en tI y aun asi me alcanza el corazon
to feel everything and today that I miss you so much only,para sentirlo todo y hoy que me haces tanta falta solamente,
only I have wanted to repeat myself,solamente me he querido repetir,

how I miss you....como te extraño....
and how I'm afraid of losing your stepsy como tengo miedo de perder tus pasos
of losing somewhere your promises and your dreamsde extraviar en algun lado tus promesas y tus sueños
Which will be the best path?¿ cual sera el mejor camino ?
and asking myself this question I think of you,y al hacerme esta pregunta pienso en ti,
and the path that brings you back......y en el camino que te traiga de regreso ......
that brings you back......que te traiga de regreso....
that brings you back......que te traiga de regreso....
BRING YOU BACK......QUE TE TRAIGA DE REGRESO.....
