El Tercer Deseo
Silvio Rodriguez
The Third Wish
I'm going to go look for you there, in the piece of night where
Suddenly your eyes stumbled
My eyes so full of the same loneliness, there
I'm going to go look for you there, try to go back
Travel through time and find you again
In the same place where I saw you there
I'm going to go look for you
At the precise moment when our paths merged in the crowd
I'm going to go look for you
In the crowd of steps, faces, voices, and light where I lost you
I'm going to return, I will come back, you too
I'm going to search for you there, to camp forever in you
And this time there won't be any possible force
Able to prevent this encounter that I sensed
I'm going to go look for you there, a century ago I met you
And this time you won't vanish
The tide finally brought you to my country
I'm going to go look for you
Even if my third wish, my last chance, is at stake
I'm going to go look for you
Through the thousands of lives that separate us from you, since yesterday at 10
I will return, I will come back, you too
And wait for me, yesterday there
