Cronica de Un Viejo Amor

I think I loved you forever
since that rainy day
when you arrived in the neighborhood
you had wires on your teeth
delicious freckles and a ponytail
in school I was always your defender
I don't know a more innocent way to shout love
because I loved you, I loved you with childish devotion

And it was at your fifteenth birthday party
when my dream shattered
suddenly into a thousand pieces
I saw you dance all night embraced by your partner
so happy in their arms
that very night I was going to tell you about my love
and my rival, it seems, beat me to it
and your joy, how it hurt me, that's where the loser was born

It was that boy who years later
to my dismay married you
I saw you radiant and happy at the altar
as I once dreamed it would be with me

And now my friends tell me
that you have suffered many sorrows
that your union ended in failure
and that you lick your wounds
giving yourself to your children
with a broken soul
on my part, I have remained faithful
to that love I never confessed to you before
because I still love you, I still love you,
like the first time

When you receive this letter,
maybe you won't even remember me,
twenty years have passed.
But if you look in the album
from your fifteenth birthday party,
you won't be mistaken
I am the skinny guy who looks at you with passion
in every photo taken that night
and the one who waits for you until you want
with the most faithful devotion

This is the sincere chronicle
of an old and silent love
