La Recuerdo Asi
Mejor la cama destendida que tu ausencia a mi lado,
mejor sus besos que tu nombre en mi boca
y yo primaverA y otoño en menos de una hora
mientras la conozco se va uniendo a mi olvido.
Esto es un trorrillo, un espiral, un ciclo...
esto de no tenerte y buscarte en pechos desconocidos
en un nombre que no recuerdo
en un vientre al que no vuelvo
es un punto más a la lista de fracasos que guardo en el cajón
junto a tu recuerdo.
La recuerdo asi
como luz de dia que deslumbra en el umbral
como casa de muñecas todo en su lugar
con todo dispuesto para empezar a jugar
tenia tantas ganas para empezar a jugar
La recuerdo asi
como la promesa que le hice y no cumpli
no importa este mundo en contra me tienes a mi
pero cuando le hice falta ya no estaba alli
le hice tanta falta y ya no me encontraba alli
La recuerdo asi
me dijo no digas nada calla y no la oi
solo queria un beso dulce antes de partir
no queria que la mirara llorar nuestro fin
no queria que la mirara llorar este fin
La recuerdo asi
con el nudo en la garganta y ganas de mentir
y decirme todo va a estar bien si tu no estas aqui
no soy la primera y no eres el ultimo asi
no soy la primera y no eres el ultimo asi
I Remember Her Like That
I'd rather have the unmade bed than your absence by my side,
better her kisses than your name in my mouth
and I'm spring and fall in less than an hour
while I get to know her, she becomes part of my forgetfulness.
This is a mess, a spiral, a cycle...
this of not having you and looking for you in unknown chests
in a name I don't remember
in a belly I don't return to
it's one more point on the list of failures I keep in the drawer
next to your memory.
I remember her like that
like daylight that dazzles at the threshold
like a dollhouse with everything in its place
with everything ready to start playing
I was so eager to start playing.
I remember her like that
like the promise I made and didn't keep
it doesn't matter this world against me, you have me
but when I needed her, she wasn't there
I missed her so much and she wasn't there anymore.
I remember her like that
she told me not to say anything, to be quiet and I didn't listen
I just wanted a sweet kiss before she left
I didn't want to see her cry at our end
I didn't want to see her cry at this end.
I remember her like that
with a lump in my throat and a desire to lie
and tell myself everything will be fine if you're not here
I'm not the first and you're not the last like this
I'm not the first and you're not the last like this.
