La Partida
Patricio Manns
The Departure
I sail in my fragile little boat
Towards a port I shall never find,
Where only the soul can live
Without loving, without loving, without loving.
Far from you, I may forget you,
But in my dreams, I will see you
And in sweet peacefulness, the soul
Not loving ever, never, never, I will be happy.
I thought that one day
You would love me as I adored you
But a cruel and fatal disillusionment
Forever extinguished my faith.
