No Olvides Que Una Vez Tu Fuiste Sol
Juan Carlos Baglietto
Don't Forget That Once You Were Sun
Don't forget that once you were sun
Don't forget neither the wall nor the laurel
Don't stop being amazed when witnessing
A new birth in your garden
Don't miss a window
Don't give away your mornings
Of downpours and games
Nor unearth old treasures
Don't hide what was offered to you yesterday
Don't hide neither the sorrow nor the pain
Don't let a cloud say goodbye
Don't shatter into pieces
Don't hide your diamond
Don't give away your perfect dawn
Nor your stars, nor your sand, nor your sea
Nor your tireless walk
Go back to the stream
Where your best song is
And go, quench the thirst of your vast meadows
Don't let your harvest be lost
Today, even the faithful rain hasn't heard you
And seek your root
And caress the one who always waits
The only way to make her return
To offer you fruits even in winter
And don't forget that once, you were sun
And go, unleash those dams of trapped currents
Let yourself be carried away and become a rider again
Descend to your valleys of free doves
For this is your country
Where are your reins
Where is your foam
Where you abandoned your path back then
Where you shipwrecked, grow a thousand roses
And don't forget that once you were sun
