Lima Sin Ti

You like it when I write you a song
You say I'm not good at talking about love
That your eyes are green but used to be brown
And I tell you it’s just the lighting
You get upset if you run away under the sun

Call me at least, at least today 'cause I need to hear your voice
I hope I can find you, love, I hope I can find you today
And if I give you a kiss without looking, and if we just go for a walk
Tell me if you’d stay with me even though I know you’re not here

Lima, my love, stop crying, lay your arms in eternity
'Cause at night the skies will jump and at dusk you’ll see her walk
Lima, my love, stop crying, but recognize she’s not here anymore
And that at night the skies will jump and at dusk you’ll see her walk, hey

My mom asks, "What are you doing on the sidewalk?"
And I tell her I’m sharing poems with anyone who wants to hear me in this trembling avenue
'Cause the things one suffers can be suffered by anyone, just wait
She poured sweetness on this wax and her mixed scents gave feelings of sorrow
And now it makes me sadder and drives me crazy
How can you be so far when we’re on the same ground?
It’s like Lima was empty, with lots of people, but so many cold people
If the walls are beautiful even when worn and empty
Then our time is irony, hey

Wait for me just a moment, or maybe the time needed for those who sing
'Cause their day, the cold flame of idealizing you is the art of false joys
Seeing you down this road with the guitar and the distant light
Breathless, dreaming lips that sigh at life
And my voice that doesn’t breathe like before missing you simply gets emotional, hey

Mom, don’t cry 'cause your tears unravel me
I’m gonna sing you a song with different voices
For you, for those skies I don’t know and if they know me
And I hope they hear me on Sundays at noon
I don’t know if it makes sense to believe I’ll live every word I say
I like feeling alive and saying the senses and ignoring whatever brings forgetfulness

I see empty streets, life almost out of control
They say that’s how young people are now, ayayay, now ayayay
That’s how young people are now, hey

You like it when I write you a song
That reminds me of little things and our love
'Cause I just roam Lima to remember your voice
And see those ghosts that danced under the sun

You and me, the cold nights and the old drowsiness
The dedicated words that didn’t make it
The letters that carried your name in their color
And the moon that from afar hears the conversation
I don’t know if they’re lines that now stain
The emotions put on this hour the emissions my heart narrates
Then it gives feelings and vain pressures
That my closed eyes implore and explore
While the guitar, of my loves, loses its chestnut
And sets the premise, the breeze on my face
Strange thing, the soul evaporates in laughter
Don’t be bothered if suddenly my guitar cries to see your smile in the void
'Cause for nothing, for nothing it enchants

A question comes out expensive, so
Kiss me quickly 'cause feeling you so far sweetens me
Under this Lima with the clear moon
A couple of nights with a little coffee, hey
Column up and faith caresses me
To write well in the early mornings without thirst
Or to see the new joke of each dawn
I don’t know what to say or how to feel, man
I wanted to make a song and now I’m on my third
I started kinda happy and look how I ended up
The fate of my pencil is to say what I already know

I see empty streets, life almost out of control
They say that’s how young people are now, ayayay, now ayayay
That’s how young people are now, hey

Lima, my love, stop crying, lay your arms in eternity
'Cause at night the skies will jump and at dusk you’ll see her walk
Lima, my love, stop crying, but recognize she’s not here anymore
And that the suns dye orange and at dusk you’ll see her walk

I recognize she’s not here anymore, I recognize she’s not here anymore
But how do I tell my mom when she thinks you’re still here
And that we stroll through every place
And when the weekend comes I go out alone to walk
And that I have no one left, and that I have no one left
And that I have no one left

Lima, my love, stop crying, Lima, my love, stop crying
Lima, my love, stop cry-yi-yi-yi-yi-ing
