Porque
Alejandro Lerner
Because
Because time is what stretches the distance
because every day dawns a different day
because the flight of the birds is similar
but the wind that carries them isn’t the same
Because I feel that even if it’s drawn
in the book that’s behind thought
what I feel doesn’t unfold in this space
because it has no place in this time
And because the day will be just another day of absence
because the wind will have dried our tears
because the sky will have written in the stars
what makes no sense in words
Because there’s a desire to live
and a dream to fulfill
a game of love that has slipped away
foolishly from our hands
I can’t live without you
sad and disillusioned
I don’t know why without you
And if today I look at you
reflecting this horizon
and I stay intertwined in your gaze
I’ll keep the secret of so much tenderness
in the body, in the memory, and in the soul
Because there’s a desire to live
and a dream to fulfill
a game of love that has slipped away
foolishly from our hands
I can’t live without you
sad and disillusioned
I don’t know why without you
And because the day will be just another day of absence
because the wind will have dried our tears
because the sky will have written in the stars
where it makes no sense to say anything
Because there’s a desire to live
and a dream to fulfill
a game of love that has slipped away
foolishly from our hands
I can’t live without you
sad and disillusioned
I don’t know why without you
and because the day will be just another day of absence.
