Es la nostalgia

It's the Longing

Es la nostalgia

Longing is a little twig of sootEs la nostalgia un ramito de hollín
A faint veil the color of indigoUn tenue velo del color del añil
A blue mirage, a timeUn espejismo azul, un tiempo
With a taste of lonelinessCon sabor a soledad
And as life goes onY en tanto la vida gira

Longing is a verse by MartiEs la nostalgia un verso de Marti
Sound of footsteps, the echo of the violinRumor de pasos, el eco del violín
But silence is ultimatelyPero el silencio es al cabo
Who will give me its truthQuien me dará su verdad
And as life goes onY en tanto la vida gira

Life goes on, it spins and in its spinGira la vida, gira y en su gira
It will take away my school daysSe llevará mis días de colegial
It takes with it my first loveLleva consigo a mi primer amor
And also, with it goesY también, con ella va
My final loveMi amor final

Longing is a little gray waltzEs la nostalgia un valsecito gris
A vain attempt to reliveUn vano intento de volver a vivir

Life goes on, it spins and in its spinGira la vida, gira y en su gira
It will take away my school daysSe llevará mis días de colegial
It takes with it my first loveLleva consigo a mi primer amor
And also, with it goesY también, con ella va
My final loveMi amor final

Longing is a little twig of sootEs la nostalgia un ramito de hollín
