Paciencia

Last night, once again my eyes saw you;
Last night, once again I had you by my side.
Why did I see you if, after all,
We were two strangers looking at the past!
You are not the same, neither am I...
The years!... life!... who knows what!...
Once and for all, honesty is better:
You and I can't go back to yesterday.

Patience...
The life is like that.
We wanted to come together out of pure selfishness
And that same selfishness shows us different.
Why pretend?
Patience...
The life is like that.
Neither is guilty, if there is any fault.
That's why, the hand I gave you in silence
Didn't tremble when leaving.

Let's pretend it was all a dream,
That it was a lie to have looked for each other;
So, kindly, we have the comfort
To keep believing that we haven't changed.
I have a picture of those twenty years
When you were the familiar sun of the neighborhood.
I want to see you always beautiful like back then:
What happened last night was just a dream.

Patience...
The life is like that.
We wanted to come together out of pure selfishness
And that same selfishness shows us different.
Why pretend?
Patience...
The life is like that.
Neither is guilty, if there is any fault.
That's why, the hand I gave you in silence
Didn't tremble when leaving.
