Romance de Barrio

First the distant April date
Your dark balcony, your old garden
Later the letters with feverish pulse
Lying that it's not, swearing that it is

Neighborhood romance, your love and my love
First a desire, then a pain
For faults we never had
For faults we both should suffer

Today you will live
Despising me, maybe without dreaming
That I regret not being able to have you
The pain of not knowing how to forget
Today you will be
Like never before far from me
Far from crying so much
It was because yes
That spite blinded you like me
Without thinking that in the bitterness of goodbye
You punished your heart with cruelty
It was because yes
That suddenly we couldn't think
That it's easier to deny and leave
Than to live without forgetting

Ashes of time the April date
Your dark balcony, your old garden
The letters written with feverish hand
Lying that it's not, swearing that it is
Returning defeated your voice and my voice
Bringing back with tones of horror
The faults we never had
The faults we both should pay
