Lejos de Largada
Don Osvaldo
Far from the Starting Line
While I pursue the corner
That heats up my senses
That dilutes this pain
In my blood with wine
Clearing the hours
Of a long penance
I'm losing my smile
And testing my patience
And here I am after all
Far from the starting line
By the side of silence
That leans on my window
However, every now and then
I hit a memory head-on
That remembers to keep me
Out of reach of confinement
Of death and its pupils
Of fear and its threat
Of rain and its exile
Of snow and its avalanche
And here I am after all
Far from the starting line
By the side of silence
That leans on my window
I fear nostalgia
That awaits me in the future
When I no longer have to rush
To chase after nothing
When all the water of the seas
Fits in my gaze
When the noise of the bars
Crouches in my bowels
And here I am after all
Far from the starting line
By the side of silence
That leans on my window
