No Resulta Fácil
José Luis Perales
It's Not Easy
It's not easy
to forget everything and start over
it's not easy
ignoring the trace left by a kiss
it's not easy
when you have loved,
to find again
what has been lost
It's not easy
it's not easy,
to awaken the soul when it has slept.
It's not so beautiful
to see the moon at the window
Nor is the morning air
so clean
It's your closeness
that hurts the most
And your still gaze
that wounds me.
It's not easy
to destroy everything and take flight
It's not easy
to find again someone to say 'I love you'
It's not easy
to invent a kiss,
Not even that white beach that was our bed
It's not easy
it's not easy,
to wake up the day with a new kiss.
There's no spring that DRAGS me
to its flowers
nor do nightingales sing in my orchard
it's your closeness
that hurts the most
and your still gaze
that wounds me.
It's not easy
to forget everything and start over.
