Hace No Sé Qué Tiempo Ya
Silvio Rodriguez
I Don't Know How Long It's Been
I don't know how long it's been
since I told someone I love you.
Everything feels so strange where I've been,
what days are so far from love.
I don't know how long it's been
since I've been sitting here cursing,
counting nights, subtracting dreams,
cursed by my own damn curse.
I've never been good for what
I've been dealt, since I don't know
what reason pushed you away.
Maybe it was my fault,
but who remembers reasons
when time brings more pain.
My lips have hardened
to say beautiful words.
How harsh is everything I say,
how soft is everything I dream
I don't know how long it's been...
20th song, late October 1969.
