La Cita
Rubén Blades
The Date
People alone, or in company, looking for love,
looking for love; some buy, others sell because
they understand that only nobody conquers pain.
Days are the same, people are the ones who change,
if in the end time is just an invention.
We are judges who do not forgive others, while
proclaiming that living is a selfish effort if there is no
love: hence the woman who arrived at six is
the same as the man who arrived at two; it is the same
premise with a different shirt covering the same
intention. From this world, nobody leaves, we just
change positions; there is no excuse to
justify our innocence in the Final Judgment.
We are already condemned for having invented how
to condemn.
Wake me up at the hour of truth.
