Un Destello de Felicidad

The world is a nightmare
And I have been so happy.
The world crumbles and spins,
I apologize for living.

I know, I'm not a hero,
I'm not the bravest of those who loved you,
I'm not your star
Nor the guy who enjoys your sins.

I don't ask for excuses or forgiveness,
To save your life or redemption,
I just seek a piece of truth.
A glimpse of happiness.

I drank from the rum of nostalgia,
Sweet December summer.
Your laughter sounds on the answering machine,
Sweet teenage delirium.

I know, I bring nothing,
I bring no solution, I bring no peace.
I dream of waves that push
Our lives to the sea.

On a park bench I found
The key that closes Eden
Where time waters your rose garden.
A glimpse of happiness.

I know, I bring nothing,
Just a light that burns in my chest.
Have you ever thought of running away to the south
To start anew?

Lost in San Telmo, I dreamed
That I found you just like yesterday,
Illuminating my window.
A glimpse of happiness.

The world is a nightmare
And I have been so happy.
The world crumbles and spins
I apologize for living.
