Siempre tarde

Never arrived at the right time,
either too soon or too late, when there's
nothing left.

I hear bells and never find out where
I heard your words in
a river that hides.
And you see, once again I have arrived
late to my duty
and you see, and too late
to your love
and now I am alone.

Alone at the door or looking out the window
alone at the party, with tears in my soul
alone waiting for the day you arrive on time
alone waiting for you to return to my memory.

And you see, once again I have arrived
late to my duty
and you see, and too late
to your love
and now I am alone.

I will search for you on the other side of the sky
I will search for you tangled in your hair
I will find you, even if it means chopping away
to love you among the branches of my arms.
And you see, once again I have arrived
late to my duty
and you see, and too late
to your love
and now I am alone.
