Distancia
Alberto Cortez
Distance
Wind, fields, and roads
Distance
What a quantity of memories
Of childhood, loves, and friends
Distance
That have stayed so far away
Among the friendly streets
Distance
From the old and beloved town
Where my eyes opened
Distance
Where I played as a child
A guitar heart I would like
To sing what I feel
There I lived the joy
Distance
Of that first feeling
That has fallen asleep
Distance
Among the fog of time
First love of my life
Distance
That didn't go beyond the attempt
First poem of the soul
Distance
That has remained silent
A guitar heart I would like
To sing what I feel
Where will my friends be
Distance
My playmates?
Who knows where they have gone
Distance
What has become of them?
I will return to my stars
Distance
I will tell them my secret
That I still love my land
Distance
Even though I am so far away
A heart without distance I would like
To return to my town
