Romance de mi Destino
Julio Jaramillo
Romance of my Destiny
Everything I wanted
I had to leave far away
I always have to escape
And abandon what I want
I am the ghost ship
That can't anchor in port
I'm looking for shelters
In portraits and in mirrors
In moth-eaten letters
And in perfumed memories
No matter how much I reach out my hands
I never reach you, star
Bitter goodbyes juice
Is my favorite glass
I drink in long sips
My potion of memories
And I get drunk in distances
To caress my dreams
And I get drunk in distances
To caress my dreams
No one knows like me
The language of handkerchiefs
Waving on the docks
Shaking the trembling air
No one like me was born
With a sailor's destiny
The only flower I know
Is the compass rose
The only flower I know
Is the compass rose
No matter how much I reach out my hands
I never reach you, star
Bitter goodbyes juice
Is my favorite glass
I drink in long sips
My potion of memories
And I get drunk in distances
To caress my dreams
And I get drunk in distances
To caress my dreams
