Aunque No Esté
José Larralde
Even If I'm Not There
If you look at the sky and see it,
if you look for the tree and it's there,
if on starry nights
your gaze shines,
it's certain that on your lips
you will find my kiss.
If your body trembled in the frost
and warmed up in the sun's rays,
if the ideal of good matures
in your temples,
you will see me by your side
even if I'm not there.
Where the bird sings, I am there,
where the wind punishes, also,
with the earth, with the rain,
with the immensity,
and in the cry and the silence
you will always see me.
Even if time hurts my walk
and my steps stay behind,
with your eyes on the horizon
you will always see me,
and on the wings of my dreams
you will also fly.
If you feel your chest beating,
if your eyes know how to cloud,
if you ask and silence
tells you, he's not here,
in the depths of your tears
you will see my face.
Where the bird sings, I am there,
where the wind punishes, also,
with the earth, with the rain,
with the immensity,
and in the cry and the silence
you will always find me.
