Solo Fuimos
Fuimos en el tiempo una quimera
una balsa sin ribera
y un destino sin mañana.
Retrato que envejece en el altillo
un lucero sin su brillo
y un morir cada semana.
Ventana por la que entraba el verano
se me escapa entre la mano
y se lleva nuestra risa
y fuimos caminante sin retorno
y en la chimenea adorno con las alas de ceniza
sin ver que era la hora señalada
el expreso se marchaba y no pude retenerte.
Volviste a mi andén y yo era otoño
marchitaste mi retoño al tiempo de tu partida
¿Adónde fueron todos nuestros sueños,
adónde nuestras ansias, nuestras ansias y desvelos?
Dos sombras sin contorno en el tiempo
un borrarse en el silencio vida mía solo fuimos.
We Were Only
We were in time a chimera
a raft without a shore
and a destiny without tomorrow.
Portrait aging in the attic
a star without its shine
and a dying every week.
Window through which summer entered
it slips away from my hand
and takes our laughter
and we were a traveler without return
and in the fireplace adorned with wings of ash
without seeing that it was the appointed time
the express train was leaving and I couldn't hold you back.
You returned to my platform and I was autumn
you withered my offspring at the time of your departure
Where did all our dreams go,
where our yearnings, our yearnings and anxieties?
Two shadows without contour in time
a fading in the silence my love we were only.
