En Navidad
Alejandro Rizo
At Christmas
It hurts to see you greet
With your smile so wounded
I thought I’d talk to you these days
So much time has passed
I don’t know how to start
And it’s ironic that back then we never stopped talking
The light is green and we can’t move on
The city is so small
I just happened to be passing through
What a lucky coincidence
You tell me that in other years
I didn’t talk to you so formally
That nerves betray me, you can tell when I smoke
Wake me from my dreams, I’m never gonna change
And I included you in my prayers
Just forget me in your songs
Well, you know how to do it
Find me in another woman’s body
Talk to me once in a while at home
At Christmas
I’m running late for a date
Don’t insist, I won’t say who it is
Your jealousy speaks again
The memory of your love
I’ve tattooed on my side
The touch of your skin is fixed in my past
You’re the best gift I have from yesterday
You’ve already found the one who flies
And I can’t find the handle
For this boat without a sail
I haven’t thrown into oblivion
The promises we made
In eighty-nine with the rain at our ankles
Even if a thousand years pass, I’ll stay with you
I wish you happiness on your path
Even if you’re not my destination
And well, you know how to do it
Write me a letter sometime
Talk to me once in a while at home
At Christmas
