Volver

I can sense the flicker
Of the lights in the distance
Marking my way back home
They're the same ones that lit up
With their pale reflections
Deep hours of pain
And even though I didn't want to return
You always go back to your first love
The quiet street where the echo said:
"It's your life, it's your desire"
Under the mocking gaze of the stars
That indifferently watch me come back

Return
With a weary brow
The snows of time
Have grayed my temples
To feel
That life is just a breath
That twenty years is nothing
That feverish gaze
Wandering in the shadows
Seeks you and calls your name
To live
With the soul clinging
To a sweet memory
That I cry over again

I'm scared of the encounter
With the past that returns
To confront my life
I'm scared of the nights
Filled with memories
That chain my dreams
But the traveler who flees
Sooner or later stops his stride
And even though forgetfulness, which destroys all
Has killed my old hopes
A humble hope remains hidden
That is all the wealth of my heart

Return
With a weary brow
The snows of time
Have grayed my temples
To feel
That life is just a breath
That twenty years is nothing
That feverish gaze
Wandering in the shadows
Seeks you and calls your name
To live
With the soul clinging
To a sweet memory
That I cry over again
