Fuimos
Homero Manzi
We Were
I was like a rain of ashes and weariness
In the resigned hours of your life
Drop of spilled vinegar
Fatally spilled, over all your wounds
You were because of me a swallow in the snow
Rose withered by the cloud that doesn't rain
We were the hope that doesn't arrive, that doesn't reach
That can't glimpse its calm evening
We were the traveler who doesn't plead, who doesn't pray
Who doesn't cry, who gave up to die
Go away!
Don't you understand that you're killing yourself?
Don't you understand that I'm calling you?
Go away!
Don't kiss me, I'm crying for you
And I wish not to cry for you anymore!
Don't you see?
It's better that my pain
Remains abandoned with your love
Freed from my final love
Go away!
Don't you understand that I'm saving you?
Don't you understand that I'm loving you?
Don't follow me, don't call me, don't kiss me
Don't cry for me, don't love me anymore!
We were embraced by the anguish of a premonition
In the night of a road with no way out
Pale remains of a shipwreck
Shaken by the waves of love and life
We were pushed in a desolate wind
Shadows of a shadow returning from the past
We were the hope that doesn't arrive, that doesn't reach
That can't glimpse its calm evening
We were the traveler who doesn't plead, who doesn't pray
Who doesn't cry, who gave up to die
Go away!
Don't you understand that you're killing yourself?
Don't you understand that I'm calling you?
Go away!
Don't kiss me, I'm crying for you
And I wish not to cry for you anymore!
Don't you see?
It's better that my pain
Remains abandoned with your love
Freed from my final love
Go away!
Don't you understand that I'm saving you?
Don't you understand that I'm loving you?
Don't follow me, don't call me, don't kiss me
Don't cry for me, don't love me anymore!
