El Ciruelo
Pedro Messone
The Plum Tree
I don't want to cry over my misery
or be a coward
though I didn't deserve
your ingratitude
because you take away everything
my life, the further you go
my dreams, my hopes, my youth
I wish you would listen to me
just for a moment
though I'm not the same as before to say
the night will fade from your face
so that tomorrow
no one will love you
like I do
They'll say love's like
the plum tree
it doesn't wait for spring
to bloom
but I can't convince myself
that if time must pass
like that plum tree
it should change
I don't want to cry over my misery
or be a coward
though I didn't deserve
your ingratitude
because you take away everything
my life, the further you go
my dreams, my hopes, my youth
They'll say love's like
the plum tree
it doesn't wait for spring
to bloom
but I can't convince myself
that if time must pass
like that plum tree
it should change
like that plum tree
it should change
