Solos y juntos
Alfredo Zitarrosa
Alone and together
(Zamba)
If we don't see each other, if we don't see each other
what does it matter in the end
if you and I were not
more than a shadow of two, nothing more.
I no longer want to love you, I want to forget you
and I know well that without you,
my love lives better
and your heart also lives better,
I am here forgetting you and I know
that you are also suffering.
Alone and together like in the woods
the trees, will grow your love and mine
alone and together, like two more trees.
What a good love of a friend, sweet enemy
would your love be from my love
if wanting to be mine, freezing to death
I had asked for warmth.
How many loves where no one lives
will be walking around,
like my love and yours, weeds' flowers,
loving each other just because,
I am here forgetting you and I know
that you are also suffering.
Alone and together like in the woods
the trees, our loves will grow
alone and together like two more trees.
