Navegante

I keep coming but it's not the same
now even the lake has a different color
I assure you that among the Sundays
before, one felt better.

With all the hustle and bustle of people
then the line for the rental
with everything, one feels lonely
but I don't think it's going to get better.

I come to the lake for those customs
that I keep in my nostalgia for the sea
whenever I came, I did it with Amanda
and well, it was just a matter of rowing.
We spent afternoons watching the setting sun
I loved the bridges, the mist, and her skin
but she knows, she already had her plans
and I didn't fit into them with my role.

She had her girl and continued married
I didn't even want to find out about that
I miss her much more when I'm at home
and that's why I turn around here...

When my oars sink
under the dark shadows
leaving swirls as my sign
the lake hides things
that are sometimes unspoken
and in any old boat
I go...
just leaving behind
I leave them behind

The wind makes figures like an artist
combing the undulating surface
of the lake that has slept a dream
from which it will not wake up.

I look at the swans
that never took flight
and it wasn't the sun
that conquered this sky
where are you?, Amanda, where are you?
Amanda, where are you?...

I got used to this place
and its silence because with Amanda
I have learned to love here.
I left her with her thoughts
and I entertained myself watching her fly
and sinking the oars
in the green waters
and then pushing
pulling back.

Here rowing
I like to go thinking
that one of these days
I'm going to go live by the sea,
before I dreamed that I would go to many
places but alone
I don't feel like traveling.
If I find work I feel calm
that's why I've been coming
back again.
But as I tell you
it's not the same lake
at the foot of the forest
of Chapultepec.

And so I sink my oars chasing
shadows and row whirlpool
I row my sign.
And the lake that opened up to me
closes again.

The waters of this lake
hide every thing
that sometimes I forget
what I came to look for
Amanda where are you?,
Amanda where are you...?
