Ayer Noche
Manuel Carrasco
Last Night
Last night I had a dream
And in the dream I got lost
The little things that were mine
There they were on the ground
The friend I lost
Those desires to live
My bracelets with paint inventing a future
My name from the balcony
The kiss on the step
There in the nets of time
And I woke up
Everything was in its place
And life upside down
I have everything but still
I feel like running
And that story to tell
That goes with the sighs
And I forgave myself
When I could breathe
When I understood
That I don't want to fail
That child who left
Whose long walk
Is still here with me
Last night I had a dream
My dream
And in the dream appeared
The complexes that shout at me today
And still confuse me
In the street where I was
A thief, an apprentice
And that old man who on his bench was happy in his own way
With watercolor my disguise
My carnival song
That taught me to be free
And I woke up
Everything was in its place
And life upside down
I have everything but still
I feel like running
And that story to tell
That goes with the sighs
And I forgave myself
When I could breathe
When I understood
That I don't want to fail
That child who left
Whose long walk
Is still here with me
Why doesn't he come back?
The taste of that freedom
Why doesn't he come back?
We never knew he was leaving
Why doesn't he come back?
Life goes on without stopping
And it's not waiting
Why doesn't he come back?
His hands sewing the button
Why doesn't he come back?
His letter in my mailbox
Why doesn't he come back?
My bare feet on the sand
Why doesn't he come back?
On the beach of memory
Why doesn't he come back?
No matter how much one doesn't want
Don't wait, it's already lost
Why doesn't he come back?
I won't be the one to lament without reason
Why doesn't he come back?
He doesn't come back
The years are a sigh
Why doesn't he come back?
He doesn't come back
Why doesn't he come back?
The taste of that freedom
Why doesn't he come back?
We never knew he was leaving
Why doesn't he come back?
Life goes on without stopping
And it's not waiting
