Volver

Return

Volver

I can sense the flickerYo adivino el parpadeo
Of the lights in the distanceDe las luces que a lo lejos
Marking my way back homeVan marcando mi retorno
They're the same ones that lit upSon las mismas que alumbraron
With their pale reflectionsCon sus pálidos reflejos
Deep hours of painHondas horas de dolor
And even though I didn't want to returnY aunque no quise el regreso
You always go back to your first loveSiempre se vuelve al primer amor
The quiet street where the echo said:La quieta calle donde el eco dijo:
"It's your life, it's your desire""Tuya es su vida, tuyo es su querer"
Under the mocking gaze of the starsBajo el burlón mirar de las estrellas
That indifferently watch me come backQue con indiferencia hoy me ven volver

ReturnVolver
With a weary browCon la frente marchita
The snows of timeLas nieves del tiempo
Have grayed my templesPlatearon mi sien
To feelSentir
That life is just a breathQue es un soplo la vida
That twenty years is nothingQue veinte años no es nada
That feverish gazeQue febril la mirada
Wandering in the shadowsErrante en las sombras
Seeks you and calls your nameTe busca y te nombra
To liveVivir
With the soul clingingCon el alma aferrada
To a sweet memoryA un dulce recuerdo
That I cry over againQue lloro otra vez

I'm scared of the encounterTengo miedo del encuentro
With the past that returnsCon el pasado que vuelve
To confront my lifeA enfrentarse con mi vida
I'm scared of the nightsTengo miedo de las noches
Filled with memoriesQue, pobladas de recuerdos
That chain my dreamsEncadenen mi soñar
But the traveler who fleesPero el viajero que huye
Sooner or later stops his strideTarde o temprano detiene su andar
And even though forgetfulness, which destroys allY aunque el olvido, que todo destruye
Has killed my old hopesHaya matado mi vieja ilusión
A humble hope remains hiddenGuarda escondida una esperanza humilde
That is all the wealth of my heartQue es toda la fortuna de mi corazón

ReturnVolver
With a weary browCon la frente marchita
The snows of timeLas nieves del tiempo
Have grayed my templesPlatearon mi sien
To feelSentir
That life is just a breathQue es un soplo la vida
That twenty years is nothingQue veinte años no es nada
That feverish gazeQue febril la mirada
Wandering in the shadowsErrante en las sombras
Seeks you and calls your nameTe busca y te nombra
To liveVivir
With the soul clingingCon el alma aferrada
To a sweet memoryA un dulce recuerdo
That I cry over againQue lloro otra vez
