Volver [English translation]

I forsee the blinking

Of the lights that far away

Are marking my return.

Are the same that lightened up

With their pale reflections

Profound hours of pain.

And even if i didn’t want the return

You always come back

To the first love.

The old road

Where he/she protected me

Yours is my life

Yours is his/hers love.

Under the mocking

Looking at the stars

That with lack of interest

Today, they see me returning.

Returning

With the withered forehead

The snows of time

Have silvered my temple.

Feeling

That life is a blow

That 20 years isn’t anything

That the fevered look,

Wandering in the shadows

Is looking for you and calls you.

Living

With the anchored soul

To a sweet memory

That cried one more time.

I am afraid of the meeting

With the past that comes

To confront with my life.

I am afraid of the nights

That crowded memories

Tie down my dream.

But the traveller that flees

Sooner or later

Stops his walk.

And even if the oblivion,

That destroys everything

Has killed my old illusion,

I keep conceiled

A humble hope

That’s all the fortune

Of my heart.

Returning

With the withered forehead

The snows of time

Have silvered my temple.

Feeling

That life is a blow

That 20 years isn’t anything

That the fevered look,

Wandering in the shadows

Is looking for you and calls you.

Living

With the anchored soul

To a sweet memory

That cried one more time.
