Como dos extraños
José María Contursi
Like two strangers
Loneliness overwhelmed me
and the huge fear of dying far from you...
How I wanted to cry
feeling next to me
the mockery of reality!
And my heart begged me
to look for you and give it your love...
My heart asked for it
and then I looked for you
believing you were my salvation...
And now that I'm in front of you
we seem, you see, like two strangers...
Lesson that I finally learned:
how the years change things!
Anguish of knowing already dead
the illusion and faith...
Forgive me if you see me tear up...
Memories have hurt me!
The sunlight paled
when I heard you coldly talking...
Our love was so different
and it hurts to realize
that everything, everything ended.
What a big mistake to see you again
to leave with a broken heart!
A thousand ghosts, upon returning
taunting me,
the hours of that dead yesterday...
