Cartagena

Today I'm taking the trip we promised
Remember when we said
Let’s go on a tour
I’m bringing your suitcase with mine
Sorry if I forgot to pack your flip-flops
From Winnie the Pooh
I got you some black metal-style shades
I can already picture you laughing
Saying they’re not bad
You know I have different tastes
I’m wearing the glasses that cover my face
At your funeral

It’s Cartagena, I know you love it
The knot in my throat won’t go away
I’m crying alone on Playa Blanca
Because you’re not here

And from the sea, I saw the stars again
You said you’d be one of them
The brightest one
I connected with the one that shone the most
As I watched it twinkle
That was you
I screamed out crying, you know I love you
I showed you pictures of our kids
God, what pain
I told you Carol is a skater
And Sebastián wants it to be time
To grow up
It’s been several years
Since they’ve seen you
Not much has changed in our Eden
Everything’s fine
But nothing’s fine
Because you’re not here

That you’re not here
God, God
It’s Cartagena, I know you love it
The knot in my throat won’t go away
I’m crying alone on Playa Blanca
Because you’re not here

And from the sea, I saw the stars again
You said you’d be one of them
The brightest one
I connected with the one that shone the most
As I watched it twinkle
That was you
I screamed out crying, you know I love you
I showed you pictures of our kids
God, what pain
I told you Carol is a skater
And Sebastián wants it to be time
To grow up
I know I suffer in your absence too
I don’t know what I’m going to do when you’re gone
Everything’s fine
But nothing’s fine
Because you’re not here

That you’re not here
I looked at the stars again at night
