Quiero Ser Luz
Mercedes Sosa
I Want to Be Light
Night is falling on me
In the middle of the afternoon
I don't want to become shadows
I want to be light and stay
I burned in the night
Following the same path
Always behind a guitar
I turned off the last star
I don't know what happiness I sought
What chimera
What zamba took away my sleep
What night my spring
Today as I start to think
I only converse in silence
My eyes from before look at me
Old from absence and time
The same gaze always
From those years so far away
Finally, I fall asleep in the night
Illuminated by the old evening star
