Volveras Cuando Vuelvas
Alberto Cortez
You'll Return When You Come Back
You'll come back, when you return
on the twenty-sixth of May,
when spring has arrived
and love turns into song.
Laughter will awaken
from its long slumber
and will rise up quickly
to wet my lips.
You'll come back, when you return
and I'll be waiting.
Waiting, my eyes,
wWaiting, my hands...
to see you and touch you
and feel you by my side,
to erase all those hours
that I've spent alone.
Morning will be born again
when you come back,
and the last star
will stay on your face.
The house will bloom again
when you return,
where we watered our love
with the harvest of our souls...
Our dog will come back
who felt your absence,
waving his tail,
to lick your face.
You'll come back, when you return,
to light my smoke,
to drink our wine
and to fall asleep in my arms...
and you'll open the windows,
that closed when you left,
and the room will be flooded
with summer once more.
