Mientras Duermen Los Niños

Let's break
this silence today,
it's time to talk,
the children are already asleep.
You're going to tell me
what's happening to you,
your eyes don't look at me
like before.

Today,
before you leave
think about it again,
the children will ask me
about you
They will say:
Where did dad go?
and every night they will dream,
of that story
they won't hear.
You shouldn't leave, no.

And I
what will I do without you,
when the evening dies
and the sun goes out.
If your empty chair will be there.
Those flowers you planted
will wither
and no one will take care of them
better than you.

While I listened to her
I saw her tremble
and for a moment
the clock stopped.
Then she sat down
gently next to me,
covering me with light
with her gaze.

And I could feel her cold hands,
and in those eyes
it began to rain.
Who will take care of them,
what will happen tomorrow,
what will happen tomorrow,
if I leave.
Who will tell the children
that I left,
who will take care of them.
what will happen tomorrow,
what will happen tomorrow,
if I leave.

Let's break
this silence today,
it's time to talk,
the children are already asleep.
I won't go.
I'll try again.
The night is so cold today,
the rain has fallen asleep
on the glass.
And come,
let's start again,
let's reset
the time on the clock.
And let's sleep,
because dawn is breaking.

I kissed her hands
and I saw her tremble,
and in those eyes
it began to rain.
I asked myself:
What will happen tomorrow?
Then in the window
it dawned.
