Noches En Vela

How long must I wait,
to have you under the moon,
to kiss your skin that's like an olive.
How many years will pass,
without cradling you like a treasure,
combing your hair that's like gold.

[chorus]
I've spent the night wide awake,
just like the very first time,
when I came to court you,
there are no lights in the harbor,
so I'll stay alert,
in case you mistook the sea.

You say it's for the best,
that distance is forgetting,
I just want to be with you,
I won't mind waiting
for your memories, seagulls fly,
guitars, children, poppies.

[chorus] x2

That distance is forgetting,
I just want to be with you.

[chorus] x2
