Cuando Vuelva a Verte
Alberto Cortez
When I See You Again
When I see you again
I will tie myself to your arms
To convince you
That I'm not just passing by.
I'm at a distance
But not absent
I walk with my soul
Full of your essence.
When I see you again
Spring will already be
Playing
Over the meadow.
Coloring the field
With grassy hues
Summoning the song
Of the hoopoes.
When I see you again
I will give myself permission
To explore you
As much as necessary.
My dark passions
Will seem insufficient
In your sea-green eyes
The moon will wander.
When I see you again
I will bring you news:
How I have been a guest
Of my greed,
Of my illusions,
And even of the abyss
Of my disappointments.
When I see you again,
In some way
I will make up for
All the waiting.
I will be with you
Until I rock you.
I will hang up my coat
When I see you again.
