Como Un Mendigo
Antonio José
Like a Beggar
I've taken so many hits in life
And only yours knocked me down
I'm lost, searching for a way out
I'm a castaway drifting aimlessly
I don't understand what happened to us
I don't get how it went down
I had a life planned with you
And now I'm begging for love like a beggar
They asked about our dreams
Where did we end up?
Now they're roaming alone, lost and drinking on a boulevard
How did we abandon them?
In a box up in the attic
Along with the photos from that summer
When we were so in love
In San Juan
I've lost count
Of how many women I've been with
I've tried to replace you
But I can't bring myself
To substitute and pretend
That your kisses are long gone
And they're not here
Every night
Every morning
On every corner
And on every pillow
I had a life planned with you
And now I'm begging for love like a beggar
