Tu retrato

Just now, when I was beginning to be happy
And just now, when my forgetfulness was closing in on you
Where did your portrait reappear?
Face to face, just like when it was a faithful witness to my tears

I could hardly resist when I saw your smiling lips in that portrait
All the dreams I was beginning to bury
Resurrected from the depths of my being
How many times did I say in vain that I wouldn't cry?

But now I saw your portrait and I began to remember
The moments we once shared in love
Suddenly, I felt like I was back in the past
But what makes this sadness so profound

Is that I'm certain again
That I won't find happiness
Because I know I'll never love anyone
The way I loved
You
