Recuerdo

I wake up early, half-dead
Lazily I come back to life, welcome to the world
With killer news I have breakfast
On my way to work on the subway

Bored I watch the faces of the travelers
Companions in routine and in yawns
And in the seat in front
A face suddenly

Clearly lights up the car
In their gestures memories come
Of other landscapes, other times
When a better fate knew me

I don't dare say anything
I'm not sure
Although those eyes are undoubtedly yours
More laden with nostalgia, perhaps darker

But I think it's you, and you're almost the same
As beautiful as back then, maybe more
You still look like the saddest girl in the city
How much time has passed since the first mistakes?

Of the question in your gaze?
The city screamed and cursed our names
Young promises, no, we had nothing
Leaving in the doorways

The echoes of your whispers
Looking for any dark corner
Hold my hand
I'm afraid of the future

And behind every escape was you, it was you
In the empty nights
When I return
Alone and wounded, I still regret

Throwing you away, so far from my body
And now that I find you
I see that the flame you ignited still burns
It's never, never too late

To be born again, to love you
I must tell you something
Before you get off
From this dirty train and I'm left dead

Look into your eyes and after reminding you
That before giving up, we were eternal
I stand up determined and approach you
And something in my chest tightens, breaks

How are you?
How long do you remember me?
And a shy smile answers
Excuse me, but I think you've made a mistake

Excuse me miss, you remind me so much
Of a woman I met some years ago
Older and more tired I return to my seat
Bored I watch the faces of the travelers
Companions in routine and in yawns
