Lo Que Fue de Los Dos
José Luis Perales
What Happened to Us
They swore eternal love one April
A thousand years ago
And even though they sometimes pretend
The silence slowly destroys them
And loneliness settles in between them
And in front of the mirror they ask today
What could have happened.
And they remember a café
On a street in Madrid
Practicing in a corner their first kiss
An endless hug
A sunset glow
The tenderness of first love
The black and white memory
Of a winter in New York
And a full moon over the sea.
They swore eternal love one April
A thousand years ago
And after all this time
The caresses and kisses ran dry
And the flame of love withered away
And that day they decided to split
What was between them.
I’ll take the taste
Of a night beside you
I’ll take the blue of your eyes
I’ll take the light
Of the best sunrise
I’ll take the beat of your heart
I’ll take your voice
I’ll take the scent of your skin
And the angel of your smile.
And they remember a café
On a street in Madrid
Practicing in a corner their first kiss
An endless hug
A sunset glow
The tenderness of first love
The black and white memory
Of a winter in New York
And a full moon over the sea.
