Vieja Amiga

Old Friend

Vieja Amiga

Do you see? I have tried in vain¿ves? he tratado inútilmente
To distance myself and forget...De alejarme y olvidar...
Today that there are wrinkles on my foreheadHoy que hay arrugas en mi frente
I feel more loneliness...Siento más la soledad...
Perhaps, noticing my agingTal vez, al notarme avejentado,
You might think I come to see youPensarás que vengo a verte
Because I am desperate...Porque estoy desesperado...
No! The years have taught me¡no! ya los años me enseñaron
To temper my heart...A templar mi corazón...

I have not come to beg youNo he venido a suplicarte
Not even a bit of affectionNi un poquito de cariño
Nor for you to explain your silence,Ni a que expliques tu silencio,
Your lies or your forgetfulness...Tus mentiras o tu olvido...
It's not possible, old friend,No es posible, vieja amiga,
To bring our lives closer...Nuestras vidas acercar...
I only came to see you,Solo vine para verte,
Just to see you, nothing more...Para verte, nada más...

There is little time left for meYa poco falta para irme
To go with my cross to another corner...Con mi cruz a otro rincón...
I know that leaving you will sink meSé que al dejarte voy a hundirme
Into despair.En la desesperación.
Could it be the emotion of my departure,¿será la emoción de mi partida,
That I would like to give you a kissQue quisiera darte un beso
Even if it costs me my life?Aunque deje en él mi vida?
It's just that your tears invite me¡es que tus lágrimas me invitan
To kiss you and cry!A besarte y a llorar!

I have not come to beg youNo he venido a suplicarte
Not even a bit of affectionNi un poquito de cariño
Nor for you to explain your silence,Ni a que expliques tu silencio,
Your lies or your forgetfulness...Tus mentiras o tu olvido...
It's not possible, old friend,No es posible, vieja amiga,
To bring our lives closer...Nuestras vidas acercar...
I am leaving... and here I leave youYa me voy... y aquí te dejo
All my happiness...Toda mi felicidad...
