El Adiós
Atahualpa Yupanqui
The Goodbye
When summer spills all its honey over the river
When the Sun rejuvenates with children's laughter
And love plays its games like the wind among the pines
And the countryside lights up its greens, and the sea releases its ships
When the last cherry blossom has fallen
My friend, I will be far away, very far along the road
Even if you cry all you want on this heart of mine
Even if I turn my hands into a cradle for your sighs
Even if your eyes remain fixed on my trail
And I walk on the plain as if descending into the abyss
When the last cherry blossom has fallen
My friend, I will be far away, very far along the road
I know I will remember you beyond the infinite
Our walks in the rain, talking like children
Or adoring your purity, with dreams and my songs
But no matter how much we stay silent, and even if we feel the same
When the last cherry blossom has fallen
My friend, I will be far away, very far along the road
