Castigo

I knew
That one day
You would look for me
In search of peace
Much remorse, much longing
But after all, what brings you here?
The woman when young and beautiful
Never believes she can stumble.
When mirrors give advice
Is when they look for someone to hold on to
And you to me were one of them
Who in the time when they were beautiful saw everything differently from what it is
Now that no longer enchants, tries to imitate the plant
The plants that die standing
And I thank you for remembering me
Among so many wretched ones who passed through your life
A man who is a man does like the cedar that scents the axe that felled it

I knew
That one day
You would look for me
In search of peace
Much remorse, much longing
But after all, what brings you here?
The woman when young and beautiful
Never believes she can stumble.
When mirrors give advice
Is when they look for someone to hold on to
