Lo Que No Fue No Será
José José
What Was Not Will Not Be
In your hands I learned to drink water
I was a sparrow that got trapped in your cage
Because I cut my wings, and the birdseed you gave me
Was so little, and yet, I loved you
My song for you was always complete
Without you, I couldn't fly in another sky
But you left me alone, confused, and forgotten
And another hand offered me the desired fruit
What once was will not be
Don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you
I'm tired of your birdseed
Go fly to another sky
And leave your cage open
Maybe another sparrow will fall
But give it something to drink
Let me turn on the light, I don't want anything
If this had been yesterday, I would take it
The first time you offer
For me to stay here
But without loving you anymore, what would I gain?
What once was will not be
Don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you
I'm tired of your birdseed
Go fly to another sky
And leave your cage open
Maybe another sparrow will fall
But give it something to drink
