La Novia Que Nunca Tuve
Pablo Milanés
The Girlfriend I Never Had
Glory like a cloud
Disappears if you look again
Fame is debasing
That intact piece that remains of you
And not even power will
Be able to neutralize
What can be found
Under a happy laugh
And a spiritual feeling
That await you to make you
Good until the end
The things I never had
Are so simple
Like going to find them
I had a tree but it dried up
I had a child and it grew in my hands
I had a book but it aged
Time took away
All the innocence it gave them at birth
The things I never had
Are so simple
Like going to find them
That's why when I look at you
Without any doubt
I believe I can guess
That I am one step away from the truth
When I sense that I know
What can be found
Under that happy laugh and a spiritual feeling
That await me to make me good until the end
The girlfriend I never had
The first love
That I always dreamed of
