Se Me Va La Vida

One more day, one more year, a whole eternity
I see it go by, with its cross on its back
Straight to its nest, and little food it carries

And it didn't matter that Peter left
And she has wanted to forget her loneliness
Wearing out her hands
Drowning memories
And very content she seems

Life slips away from me from thinking so much
About that angel that gave me thirst
My soul breaks when I see her arrive
Bringing more stories on her skin

But she will find in the trunk of her dreams
A light that will tell us it's time to laugh
And I won't say it again
Life slips away from me

And it didn't matter that Peter left
And she has wanted to forget her loneliness
Wearing out her hands
Drowning memories because she must cross the path

And yesterday in her walk I saw her cry
Once again, to life
That has colors
The ones we sometimes don't want to see

Life slips away from me seeing her cry
Washing the wounds of yesterday
My soul breaks
I can't help but feel like a child at her feet

Life slips away from me
My soul breaks
Love slips away from me
Yesterday slips away from me
Life slips away
