A Partir de Mañana
Alberto Cortez
Starting Tomorrow
Starting tomorrow I will start living half of my life
Starting tomorrow I will begin to die half of my death
Starting tomorrow I will start returning from my outbound trip
Starting tomorrow I will begin to measure every stroke of luck
Starting tomorrow I will start living a healthier life
That is to say, tomorrow I will start riding on better roads
The best tobacco and also, why not, the best apples
The best fun and the best table, the best wines
Until today, I was only what I am, an apprentice of Quixote
I have been able to fight and sometimes even win, without losing my mustache
Now I have to think that the bells can't stop ringing
Even if I have to do more than today and yesterday
Starting tomorrow
If from tomorrow I decided to live half of my death
Or starting tomorrow I decided to die half of my life
From tomorrow on I should accept that I am not the strongest
I have no courage or shame to hide my deepest wounds
If from tomorrow I decided to live a quiet life
And I will stop being a dreamer, to be a more serious person
Tomorrow everyone could tell me: Your batteries are dead
You have run out of light, you no longer have value, your mystery is over
Starting tomorrow I will start living half of my life
Starting tomorrow I will begin to die half of my death
Starting tomorrow I will start returning from my outbound trip
Starting tomorrow I will begin to measure every stroke of luck
Until today, I was only what I am, an apprentice of Quixote
I have been able to fight and sometimes even win, without losing my mustache
Now I have to think that the bells can't stop ringing
Even if I have to do more than today and yesterday
Starting tomorrow
