Reencuentro
Alvaro Torres
Reunion
It had been so long since I stopped
to contemplate you that I had forgotten
even the feeling of enjoying you
but today I went down to the depths of your womb
where hope is lived
from where one day I went to seek my luck.
Time flies by
that in these streets I was a child
like anyone earning a living in a thousand trades
in the neighborhood there are no familiar faces
new lives have sprouted and I ask the sky
to bless the future of these children.
Take this beloved homeland song
written with nostalgia and melancholy
it is my heart that is inspired
for in the distance I miss you every day
take this beloved homeland song
written with nostalgia and melancholy
it is my heart that is inspired
for in the distance I miss you every day.
You are more beautiful than anyone
would think you haven't suffered
because the scars you have
covered with forgiveness and forgetfulness
many things have happened in these years
but I want my friends to know
that I still remember them and miss them.
