Quiero Ser Luz

I Want to Be Light

Quiero Ser Luz

Night is falling on meSe me esta haciendo la noche
In the middle of the afternoonEn la mitad de le tarde
I don't want to become a shadowNo quiero volverme sombra
I want to be light and stayQuiero ser luz y quedarme
I don't want to become a shadowNo quiero volverme sombra
I want to be light and stayQuiero ser luz y quedarme

I burned in the nightMe fui quemando en la noche
Following the same pathSiguiendo la misma senda
Always behind a guitarSiempre atras de una guitarra
I turned off the last starApague la ultima estrella

I don't know what happiness I seekNo se que dicha busque
What fantasiesQue quimeras
What zamba took away my sleepQue zamba me quito el sueño
What night my springQue noche mi primavera

Today as I start to thinkHoy que me pongo a pensar
I only converse in silenceSolo converso en silencio
My eyes from before look at meMe miran los ojos de antes
Full of absence and timeLlenos de ausencia y de tiempo

The same gaze as alwaysLa misma mirada de siempre
From those years so far awayDe aquellos años tan lejos
Finally, I fall asleep in the nightPor fin me duermo en la noche
Illuminated by the old evening starQue alumbra el lucero viejo
