Tú Y Mi Ciudad
Rubén Blades
You And My City
A reason for living made me love you.
How many lessons my soul learned from you!
I don't know what I did to lose you,
if I didn't even realize when it happened.
Today my disillusionment eats even a priest,
and in my harsh words it leaves the taste that
illusion has when it doesn't mature: how do you get rid of that?
Love of absent kisses, that watch over my loneliness,
today I want to unlearn you and I don't know how to start.
I doubt what I know and deceive myself daily
because inside I feel you living in me.
How to forget you, if you are my calendar?
Where to multiply, if not in you?
The night is like a drink I drink alone,
in the four walls of my anxiety.
What I thought was eternal lasted very little: when will this end?
Love of absent kisses, finish extinguishing yourself.
I got here for loving you; now I want to forget you!
