Esta Noche
Francisca Valenzuela
Tonight
Tonight, I’ve been asked for something I can’t give,
not sure if he’s my friend or something more tonight.
Tonight, I’ve turned into someone I’m not,
naked in front of this cold moon, I take my chance and I’m gone...
I’ve said it a thousand times...
I close my ears, my entrance door,
retreated a thousand times...
I close my eyes and let myself go.
Tonight, I’ve experienced something I don’t recognize
and I’m torn between my love and his hate.
And that night, I didn’t want to, but today, maybe I do,
but what can I do if he doesn’t want it?
Trying a thousand times...
I close my mouth, skin’s enchantment,
facing a thousand voices...
I close my lungs without letting on what it feels like to do.
Tonight, I’ve given something I can’t give,
I’ve received and now...
I’m gone...
