La canción y el poema
Alfredo Zitarrosa
The song and the poem
(Song)
Today that time has passed,
today that life has passed,
today that I laugh if I think,
today that I forgot those days,
I don't know why I wake up
some empty nights
hearing a voice that sings
and that, perhaps, is mine.
I would like to die -now- of love,
so you would know
how and how much I loved you,
I would like to die, I would like... of love,
so you would know...
Some nights of peace,
-if there are still any-
going as if without me
through those empty streets,
between the lurking shadow
and a sad smell of wisteria,
I hear a voice that sings
and that, perhaps, is mine.
I would like to die -now- of love,
so you would know
how and how much I loved you;
I would like to die, I would like... of love,
so you would know...
