Un Instante Antes

A Moment Before

Un Instante Antes

You signaled me that I should have understoodMe hiciste señales que debí entender
Like that new gesture of fixing your hairComo aquel gesto nuevo de arreglarte el pelo
You looked as if watching the rainMiraste como quien mira llover
A moment before taking flightUn instante antes de levantar vuelo

You returned to your course as a shooting starVolviste a tu cauce de estrella fugaz
With your vanishing point in the skyCon tu punto de fuga en el cielo
I think you were already floating maybeCreo que ya estabas flotando quizás
A moment before taking flightUn instante antes de levantar vuelo

You were already getting wet in another thawYa te mojabas en otro deshielo
A moment before taking flightUn instante antes de levantar vuelo

Not all the lines of the EquatorNi todas las líneas del Ecuador
Nor the fear and its many hooksNi el temor y sus muchos anzuelos
Every argument was losing valueTodo argumento perdía valor
A moment before taking flightUn instante antes de levantar vuelo

The river changes and changes the thirstEl río cambia y cambia la sed
You had read it in your longingLo habías leído en tu anhelo
It was already written long beforeEstaba ya escrito mucho antes de
The moment before taking flightEl instante antes de levantar vuelo

You were already looking at me from another skyYa me mirabas desde otro cielo
A moment before taking flightUn instante antes de levantar vuelo
