Pájaro Herido
Pancho Varona
Wounded Bird
I don't pretend to pretend that you love me
Nor have I wanted to learn to forget you
Even though you have taken a part
Of my heart
I gain nothing by sticking pins
Into a doll that has come apart
Nor does the beat of a heartbeat move me
From our song
I simply let you go
There were no screams, no macabre scenes
Nor did I say a single word
That wasn't goodbye
The stairs led to the sidewalk
Of aimless and brakeless steps
Since then, I only miss
When we were two
And I know that forgetting
Is the path of a wounded bird
But now I have too many hours
I don't waste a second, it hurts to live
It hurts to live
And I stay in the deep hollow
Of this world so full of you
I have tried to find our case
In the gray page of events
I took a plane back
From heaven to Madrid
The best thing about drinking from failure
Is thinking about the next glass
The worst thing about being alone is the people
Who talk to me about you
I simply let you go
There were no screams, no macabre scenes
Nor did I say a single word
That wasn't goodbye
The stairs led to the sidewalk
Of aimless and brakeless steps
Since then, I only miss
When we were two
And I know that forgetting
Is the path of a wounded bird
But now I have too many hours
I don't waste a second, it hurts to live
It hurts to live
And I stay in the deep hollow
Of this world so full of you
