El ultimo café

Your memory arrives in a whirlwind
Returns in the autumn at dusk
I look at the drizzle and while I look
The coffee spoon spins

From the last cup of coffee
That dried a cold from your lips
You asked that time
With the voice of a sigh

I remember your disdain
I evoke you without reason
I hear you without being there

Ours ended
You said in a goodbye
Of sugar and ice

Just like the coffee
Like love, like forgetting
Like the final vertigo
Of a resentment without reason

And there with your cruelty
I saw myself die standing
I measured your vanity
And then I understood my loneliness
Without a reason
It was raining, and I offered you the last cup of coffee

From the last cup of coffee
That dried a cold from your lips
You asked that time
With the voice of a sigh

I remember your disdain
I evoke you without reason
I hear you without being there

Ours ended
You said in a goodbye
Of sugar and ice

Just like the coffee
Like love, like forgetting
Like the final vertigo
Of a resentment without reason

And there with your cruelty
I saw myself die standing
I measured your vanity
And then I understood my loneliness
Without a reason
It was raining, and I offered you the last cup of coffee
