Los Pájaros Perdidos
Astor Piazzolla
The Lost Birds
I love the lost birds
That return from beyond
To blend with a sky
That I will never recover
Memories return again
The young hours I gave
And from the sea comes a ghost
Made of things I loved and lost
It was all a dream
A dream we lost
How we lost the birds and the sea
A brief and ancient dream like time
That mirrors cannot reflect
Then I sought
To lose you in so many others
And those others, and all were you
Finally, I managed to recognize
When goodbye is goodbye
Loneliness devoured me and we were two
The nocturnal birds return
Flying blindly over the sea
The whole night is a mirror
That reflects back your loneliness
I am just a lost bird
Returning from beyond
To blend with a sky
That I will never recover
