Le Pregunté

I asked her if she knew about my pain
She made me promise I wouldn’t cry
She kissed my forehead and quietly walked away
I’m sure it’s because she didn’t want to see me suffer anymore

The night was stealing the day at sunset
My heart took refuge in my loneliness
All my love and hope went to waste
Without her warmth, it won’t be easy to wake up

I suddenly found myself alone in a corner
Of that nest that’s not the same without her
I looked at her photo resting in the vase
That still has flowers, but they’ll wither too

I can’t find a way to let out my bitter sorrow
I feel your scent and think I see you on the balcony
It won’t be easy to convince myself to forget
You took my life mercilessly like a thief

I asked her if she would come back tomorrow
From her gaze, I understood that maybe not
After a sigh, she looked at me and I saw her cry
Did her heart feel my pain?

I smiled at her when her sweet voice trembled
I didn’t insist; I let her love fly free
I saw her hidden sadness in this goodbye
No one in her life will love her like I do

How is it possible for a love meant to give love
Not to find a place to shelter it?
Even though I’m noble and give my best
I only see myself as a sailboat in the sea

My poor life will wander in the dark
There won’t be a tomorrow; it’s living without reason
I try little by little to accept my reality
I don’t know if forgetting is what this song should be called
