Quiero Estar a Solas
Victor Manuel
I Want to Be Alone
I want to be alone
Talk to the mirror
Strip down completely
Let it rain inside me.
Let no one ask
What’s in these eyes
They’re just ashes
Of a broken dream.
I know my path was written,
I know it doesn’t lead to paradise.
I want to be alone
Behind the glass
Watch as life
Is swept away by the wind.
Among the orange trees
And the jasmine flowers
For whoever wants me
I’ll plant my garden.
Look at the sadness the river carries
I follow it along the shore
And it takes me to see the sea.
Look at the sadness, oh my love!
When I think of those lips
That I’ll never kiss again.
I want to be alone,
All alone in the desert
Not missing anyone
Nor followed by an echo.
Let everyone come
Who’s willing
To paint their dream
With the blue of the sky.
