Bajo Un Cielo de Estrellas
José María Contursi
Under a Starry Sky
Much time after distancing myself,
I return to the neighborhood I once left...
With the eagerness to see through its streets
My old friends, the old café.
In the quiet and dark night
Even the air seems to say:
"Don't forget that I was always yours
And I'm still waiting for you to come back to me".
Tonight I become again
That dreamy boy
Who knew how to love you and with his verses
Offered you his sorrows...
There's a voice whispering in my ear:
"I know you've come
For her... for her!".
How kind and sad at the same time
Is the loneliness of the suburb
With its little houses and the trees casting shadows.
Feeling that everything... everything names her,
It makes me want to cry immensely!
Under the sky covered with stars
I seem like a shadow passing by...
I will never see myself with that one
Who loved me so much... and now I must forget!
In the quiet and dark night
Even the air seems to say:
"Why remember that I was yours
If I no longer expect you to come back to me!"
