Volver

I can sense the flicker
Of the lights in the distance
Marking my way back home
They're the same ones that lit up
With their pale reflections
Deep hours of pain

And even though I didn't want to come back
You always return to your first love
The old street where the echo said
Her life is yours, her love is yours

Under the mocking gaze of the stars
That indifferently watch me return today

Return with a weary brow
The snows of time have grayed my hair
Feeling that life is just a breath
That twenty years is nothing
That feverish gaze, wandering in the shadows
Seeks you and calls your name

Living with my soul clinging
To a sweet memory
That I cry over once more

I'm scared of the encounter
With the past that comes back
To confront my life
I'm scared of the nights
Filled with memories
That chain my dreams

But the traveler who flees
Sooner or later stops his stride
And even though forgetfulness, which destroys all
Has killed my old illusion

I keep hidden a humble hope
That is all the fortune of my heart

Return with a weary brow
The snows of time have grayed my hair
Feeling that life is just a breath
That twenty years is nothing
That feverish gaze, wandering in the shadows
Seeks you and calls your name

Living with my soul clinging
To a sweet memory
That I cry over once more
