Tiempo, dame tiempo [English translation]

In times like these in which I need time

How long has it been since I've needed more time?

Time, give me time

Time, give me time

Too much time wasted, thinking only of time

How long has it been since I've had no time?

Time, give me time

Time, give me time

How can I love you, if you never stay?

If I try to hug you but you pull away

If all I do is wait for you, but you, you never wait

You always want to play, you have no patience

You always win, you always win, and you mock me indifferently

I thought I'd be different, that you'd love me back

But you only know how to follow your instinct and you disappear again

Everyone told me: 'Don't try it', but I didn't pay attention

When you trust in time, it won't take pity on you

To start with it'll be by your side, it'll show you the beauty of a freshly painted future

Then it'll give you a mirror and it'll laugh at you making you feel old and tired

Why do you make me suffer so much, beloved Time?

Why do you look at me and then your lies tear my life to shreds with every breath?

I already know that you perish and die and you don't move

I already know that there are no tens before nines

Nor Fridays before Thursdays

That you're free, that you come and go, that you, you are as you are

Just give me the chance to love you and possess you

I'll build you the most beautiful castle

And there I'll be able to adore you eternally

Let me, let me be swept away by the flood of your wholeness

Let me feel your light, give me to drink the elixir of eternal youth

In times like these in which I need time

How long has it been since I've needed more time?

Time, give me time

Time, give me time

Too much time wasted, thinking only of time

How long has it been since I've had no time?

Time, give me time

Time, give me time

I breathe1 Time as if it were a sea

And the sea as if it were a hand extended

The air moves the branches of Time

The earth takes root of Time

The birds fly at the speed of Time

The lake in a cave and a droplet formed explain the patience of Time

I love time that is stretched out, I love time that is slowly covered

It knows no judgement, Time never passes

Only Time passes...

Time, give me time

How long has it been since I've needed more time?

How long has it been since I've had no time?

Time, give me time, time
