Fins Que Cal Dir-Se Adeu
Joan Manuel Serrat
Until We Have to Say Goodbye
UNTIL WE HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE
They said:
"We need to buy time from dreams,
we need to go way beyond words.
Be who we are
at our core.
Burn the ships,
navigate bare
on the crest of the wave.
Brave love for you,
to gain ground in life
and to take it in
by sharing it.
Until we have to say goodbye.
One inside the other
and each in their place.
Thinking out loud
and tasting it all."
And they did it...
buying time from dreams
and committed only to coincidences
and mutual complicity.
They were seeds of eternity
sharing toys and experiences.
Brave love for you...
It goes where it goes and lasts as long as it lasts.
There are no margins
or measures.
Until we have to say goodbye.
One inside the other
and each in their place.
Thinking out loud
and tasting it all.
Until the end
we need to buy time from dreams.
We need to go way beyond words,
to be who we are and say goodbye
if the daily grind has done its thing
and changed things and us too.
Brave love for you,
to gain ground in life
and exhaust it
and "squeeze it dry."
Until we have to say goodbye.
