Old Man
I'm sitting here singing this bachata
and remembering our youth
it wasn't my fault that I never found you
it was just that you wanted it that way.
I was looking for you, you never paid attention
telling you about my great and pure love
and the next day I tried to find you
you had left without giving me a reason.
And I waited for you forever, I cried for you
and I searched for you but never found you
I don't know why you left my side
I haven't forgotten when I met you.
Your hair was always wavy
your cheeks were rosy
and that smile was always a big envy
the whiteness of your smile was your ivory teeth
I was half-groomed
starched pants
and by the stream I watched every night
I sang that reproach you gave me.
And it was my longing, my eyes were clouded
years passed, how I suffered for you
and now that I'm old, I still remember you
and my mind just can't let go of that.
On the road, someone was coming slowly
I feel something strange in my heart
a woman with open arms
and from afar she was asking for forgiveness
and I waited until I could see
she just kept saying FORGIVE ME, FORGIVE ME
I don't know why I left your side
I haven't forgotten when I met you.
You were always spying on me
you never left my side
if I had realized at that moment
this wouldn't have happened, you wouldn't suffer for me
and now that we're old
me with nothing and you waiting for me
let's live together what was left anchored
forgive me for the past, I want to die with you...
