Antes Y Después
Ciro y los Persas
Before and After
Before, a long time ago
I used to invite you
To hunt a deer
Then I’d accompany you
To gather herbs
For your bed
Before, in an ambush
I’d protect you, and lost an eye
To a sword
Then, you’d invite me
To see the Moon, the same Moon
From your window
Before, a long time ago
Conquerors imposed
Their God of fear
Then, you’d hug me
And lick my wounds
And every sore
Before, I wore chains
And in a market, by the docks
You’d buy me
What a pleasure to see you again
We say without speaking
Today everything starts again
And it will be what it once was
What a pleasure to see you again
We say without speaking
Today everything starts again
And it will be what it once was
Later, you’d gift me
That portrait, which underground
Still keeps me company
What a pleasure to see you again
We say without speaking
Today everything starts again
And it will be what it once was
What a pleasure to see you again
We say without speaking
Today everything starts again
And it will be what it once was
Our love will be reborn
With the same passion
Souls without transmutation
New bodies, who will you be?
