Cuando Un Amigo Se Va
Alberto Cortez
When a Friend Leaves
When a friend leaves
There is an empty space
That cannot be filled
By the arrival of another friend
When a friend leaves
There is a burning ember
That cannot be extinguished
Not even with the waters of a river
When a friend leaves
A star is lost
The one that lights up the place
Where a sleeping child lies
When a friend leaves
The paths come to a halt
And the gentle spirit of wine
Begins to reveal itself
When a friend leaves
Riding towards their destiny
The soul begins to tremble
Because it fills with cold
When a friend leaves
An empty field remains
That time wants to fill
With the stones of weariness
When a friend leaves
A fallen tree remains
That will not sprout again
Because the wind has overcome it
When a friend leaves
There is an empty space
That cannot be filled
By the arrival of another friend
