The Letter

La Carta

Not long ago I read your letterNo hace mucho que leí tu carta
And, with no strength to replyY, sin fuerzas para contestar
A thousand pieces will separate us in the windMil pedazos al viento nos separarán
I will build a house in a distant countryPondré casa en un país
To forgetLejano para olvidar
This fear towards you, this fear towards youEste miedo hacia ti, este miedo hacia ti

And not long ago I brokeY no hace mucho que rompí
Your memory thinkingTu recuerdo pensando
To end it once and for allAcabar de una vez
But time and distancePero el tiempo y la distancia
Are not everything to meNo son todo para mí
There is always something that makes me come backSiempre hay algo que me hace volver

I have always heard, and I no longer believe youSiempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
Why don't I understand you?¿Por qué no te entiendo?
Why are you so far away?¿Por qué estás tan lejos?
I have always heard, and I no longer believe youSiempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
Why don't I understand you?¿Por qué no te entiendo?
Why are you so far away?¿Por qué estás tan lejos?

I know I have always been like thisSé que siempre he sido así
And I have no remedyY que no tengo remedio
Nor do I want to haveNi lo quiero tener
But neither fear nor your lettersPero ni el miedo ni tus cartas
Are everything to meLo son todo para mí
Maybe I will blame you againQuizás otra vez te echaré la culpa a ti

I have always heard, and I no longer believe youSiempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
Why don't I understand you?¿Por qué no te entiendo?
Why are you so far away?¿Por qué estás tan lejos?
I have always heard, and I no longer believe youSiempre he escuchado, y ya no te creo
Why don't I understand you?¿Por qué no te entiendo?
Why are you so far away?¿Por qué estás tan lejos?
