En Las Luces de La Tarde
Vivir Quintana
In the Lights of the Afternoon
What a surprise it is to find yourself in the evening lights
Breathing in a memory still flickering in my memory
What a joy it is to hear you in the songbirds
In the cardinal points where our history is still missing
You see, I didn't come to prove anything to you
Because demonstrating hurts us
And disguises what we really are
I don't want to make you fall in love, I want you to recognize yourself
And when you discover yourself, I will be your sky or your dove
I don't want to be your shadow, I just want to accompany you
May your infinite seas connect with my rivers
Meet your friends and bring them together with mine
I don't want to corner you, I want to see you among seagulls
Know your dissent, respect your independence
Without giving a name to the noise that your existence causes
I don't want you to cry for me, even if I cry for your absence
And if one lucky day, you decide to love me
Be your future or present
I don't want to make you fall in love, I want you to recognize yourself
And when you discover yourself, I will be your sky or your dove
