El Primer Amor

The First Love

Dad, tell me, what is the first love like?
They say the first love
Goes with you until the end
That it stays in the form of nostalgia, memory, and forgetfulness

Despise or equals
They say the first love
Corrects your childhood
You feel like your heartbeats tear your skin to shreds

They say the first love
In the madness of an age
Teaches you that your body gets excited, surrenders
To the nerves that call to the heart
They say (they say) the first love (they say)
Touches sensitivity (they say)

That changes the way you kiss
They say the first love
Enters and passes without knocking
And stays in your soul rolling like a ferris wheel
They say the first love
Carries a phrase for your heart

Joy and sorrow will be all your stories
When I touched your lips, I knew how the butterflies danced
My guitar still whispers a summer tune in your ear and touches your hands
Smiles that keep the kiss you gave

While you fight with the damn time that always puts you against
Saying goodbye until tomorrow, which feels like little glory
Finding in your solace the beauty of a goodbye
Smile, fool, you don't know that the key
Is inside your heart

They say the first love
Carries a phrase for your heart
Joy and sorrow will be all your stories
When you go from the heart
And are guided by the illusion
There won't come a heartbreak, nor a sorrow without a victory
They say the first love

Smells like pure freedom
Like a carefree person with gum in their mouth, a thousand park benches with salted sunflower seeds
They say the first love
Breaks time in childhood
And stays forged and tied, nailed in your being
They say the first love
Is very different from the others

That you see yourself walking among clouds, challenging destiny and its damn cruelty
They say (they say) the first love (they say)
Goes with you (goes with you) until the end (goes with you)
That changes the way you kiss
They say the first love
Carries a phrase for your heart

Joy and sorrow will be all your stories
When you go from the heart and are guided by the illusion
There won't come a heartbreak, nor a sorrow without a victory
Remember, my girl, that there is no greater victory

Than being taken to glory
By the hand of a love
But if you give yourself, always keep it in mind
A love that is different like the first love
