White Indigo

Blanco Añil

He's gone, and on the station benchSe ha marchado , y en el banco de la estación
he left a letter that he wroteha dejado unacarta que le escribió
and next to it, along with a flowery a su lado junto a una flor

Each word, each line withers awaySe marchita cada palabra cada renglón
it's not possible that there's so much pain on a paperno es posible que en un papel haya tanto dolor
little needles in his poor heartagujitas en su pobre corazón

And love tryingY amor estar intenyando
to live by your side is to make you suffervivir a tu lado es hacerte sufrir
better this afternoon I'll leavemejor esta tarde me marcho
and learn again the art of livingy aprendo de nuevo el arte de vivir
and I only take with me sweet memoriesy tan solo me llevo los dulces recuerdos
and that by your side one day I was so happyy que a tu lado yo un dia fui tan feliz

The refuge where he fled to dreamEl refugio donde huia para soñar
announced to him that he would never returnle anunciaba que no volveria jamas
and he didn't know, he couldn't forget ity no supo, y no supo poderlo olvidar

And he remained stuck in timeY se quedo encallada en el tienpo
princess of a story without a happy endingprincesa de un cuento sin final feliz
the years painted herlos años le fueron pintando
her dark hair with a white indigosu pelo moreno de un blanco añil
and the years passed and she started inventingy pasaron los años y se fue inventando
a letter to surviveuna carta para sobrevivir

I'll invent a thousand springsme inventaré mil primaveras
so when I come back I can give them to youpara cuando vuelva podertelas regalas
I'll make up for your long waitcompensaré tu larga espera
even if I have to pawn my whole life for youaunque mi vida entera yo te tenga que empeñar

And loveY amor
