Ultimos destellos

Last Glimmers

Ultimos destellos

They're beads on a rosary, the years of my lifeSon cuentas de un rosario, los años de mi vida
They're pearls that get cloudy from all the hustleSon perlas que se empañan de tanto trajinar
They're wandering birds, wounded by the badSon pájaros errantes heridos por la mala
They're eyes that close from all the tearsSon ojos que se cierran de tanto lagrimear

They're furrows that open, marking my foreheadSon surcos que se abren marcándose en la frente
They're the last voices that no one hears anymoreSon voces las postreras que nadie escucha ya
They're days that have gone, they're kisses that have rolledSon días que se han ido, son besos que han rodado
Like a wilted carnation, tossed on a thresholdCuál un clavel marchito, tirado en un umbral

They're beads on a rosary, the years of my lifeSon cuentas de un rosario, los años de mi vida
They're last glimmers that no longer shineSon últimos destellos que ya no alumbran más
They're lights that fade, they're flowers that witherSon luces que se apagan, son flores que se agotan
They're lilies that are dying, broken on your altarSon lirios que agonizan tronchados en tu altar

They're pages of a book, written on the soulSon páginas de un libro, escritas sobre el alma
With the script of my sorrows that no one cares about anymoreCon letra de mis penas que a nadie importa ya
They're lights of your name, that return to my lifeSon luces de tu nombre, que vuelven a mi vida
Bringing back with their return, the echo of a songTrayendo en su retorno, el eco de un cantar

They're centuries of a sanctuary, clinging to your imageSon siglos de un santuario Prendidos a tu imagen
That die slowly, tired of shiningQue mueren lentamente cansados de alumbrar
My years are bundles of torn petalsMis años son manojos de pétalos deshechos
Many without fragrance, drifting randomlyYa muchos sin perfume que pasan al azar

They're beads on a rosary, the years of my lifeSon cuentas de un rosario, los años de mi vida
They're last glimmers that no longer shineSon últimos destellos que ya no alumbran más
They're lights that fade, they're flowers that witherSon luces que se apagan, son flores que se agotan
They're lilies that are dying, broken on your altarSon lirios que agonizan tronchados en tu altar
