Elena

On a day like todayUn dia como hoy
She was left alonese fue quedando en soledad
He promised to come back laterle prometio despues volver
He was going to fight for the countrypor la patria iba a luchar

He never said goodbyeNunca le dijo adios
He decided it was better to say 'see you later'decid hasta la vuelta era mejor
And so, pretending to smiley asi fingiendo sonreir
She watched him leavequedo mirandolo partir

Elena wrote to himElena le escribio,
He answered some lettersalgunas cartas contesto
That she never stopped readingque de leer nunca dejo
Letters of war, letters of lovecartas de guerra, cartas de amor

He went to fight at the frontAl frente fue a luchar
To conquer those islandsaquellas islas conquistar
When the bullet hit himcuando la bala lo alcanzo
The angel of death took him awayel angel de la muerte se lo llevo

And she can't help but feelY ella no deja de sentir
That one day he will come backque un dia volvera
All that's left is to waitsolo queda esperar
The war never endedla guerra nunca la termino
The tomb of painla tumba del dolor
Is always open in her heartsiempre abierta esta en su corazon

Naked, the cityDesnuda la ciudad
Searching through the streets she goesbuscando entre las calles va
Years go by and she ispasan los años y ella esta
Kissing the wind, looking at the seabesando el viento, mirando el mar
She didn't want to ask when the others returnedno quizo preguntar cuando volvieron los demas
And if a ship arrives from the southy si algun barco llega del sur
Her face shines full of lightsu rostro brilla lleno de luz

Elena can't help but feelElena no deja de sentir
That one day he will come backque un dia volvera
All that's left is to waitsolo queda esperar
The war never endedla guerra nunca la termino
The tomb of painla tumba del dolor
Is always open in her heartsiempre abierta esta en su corazon
