Vuelve

Cold as a statue of salt
In a crystal mausoleum
Dry to the bones from crying
And dead as Tiberius can be in his coffin

All in ruins like the Parthenon
Alone like Columbus ended
Pale as a Mona Lisa
Bitter as a lemon
Wrinkled like an accordion

Like the Sphinx when it lost its nose
Like Alexander the Great
Without his sword and without his dart
Like a poor Christian in the Roman Empire

I look for something that can answer
Because I'm tired of thinking
How the seconds pass
And I survive this universal flood

Without more effort the explanation
Appears in an old drawer
And in less than a single fraction
It comes back to life and the heart turns green

Come back, come back
Come back, come back

My life is slipping down the drain
My feet, from standing, have calluses
I don't know how to tell you I miss you
And in all this, more than a year has passed

Come back, come back
Come back, come back

My boat is sinking in the mud
From anguish, I've bitten my elbows
My world is empty and boring
I'm dying to have you here with me
