La Partida
Isabel Aaiún
The Departure
It rains and the night doesn't forget
It doesn't heal the wound
Of the time without seeing you
It rains and the empty house
Remembers the escape
And curses its luck
Seeing the lost hope
The eyes that look
Looking ahead
They make me come back to life
In this departure
It doesn't matter who loses
Every morning a heart sings to its chimera
If one day I could return to your path
Return like the sailor returns to the port and the tide
That cradles the boat, of what we promised
When the time comes to sing you this ranchera
Like spring dances to the sound of the peasant
I'll go from the path of the fountain to the promenade
And for the whole life
I'll stay with you
The rumor goes that you forget
That ours is in ruins
That love doesn't return
I swear I don't go a day
Without looking for the way out
Without making myself stronger
Seeing the hope so alive
It seems unbelievable that death is around
There's only one game left
I don't care who loses
Every morning a heart sings to its chimera
If one day I could return to your path
Return like the sailor returns to the port and the tide
That cradles the boat, of what we promised
When the time comes to sing you this ranchera
Like spring dances to the sound of the peasant
I'll go from the path of the fountain to the promenade
And for the whole life
I'll stay with you
Every morning a heart sings to its chimera
If one day I could return to your path
Return like the sailor returns to the port and the tide
That cradles the boat, of what we promised
When the time comes to sing you this ranchera
Like spring dances to the sound of the peasant
I'll go from the path of the fountain to the promenade
And for the whole life
I'll stay with you
