La mitad
Willie Rosario
The Half
When I realize that I cross the street
and your presence is missing and your hand
is not in my open hand
that I once gave you
I feel that life is moving away from me.
You are not even half
of what you were once
when you lived with me
and the sorrows stayed back there
wherever you go
and you still find yourself.
As I still like you
if you want me to love you
I will love you, girl
as I have not loved you
I am at your service
without worry
in a free way at your disposal.
I am not even half
of what I was once when I lived with you,
and the sorrows stayed back there
wherever you go and still find yourself.
There is not even half
of my problems from yesterday
nor my melancholy
only affection exists and nothing more
that way of loving no longer exists, my life.
Chorus:
The half no longer exists, half of what there was
Thinking about the past I feel
that life is slipping away from me and I realize
that you are no longer here.
Chorus
As I still like you and you want me to love you
I will love you, girl, of course I will love you
but remember it will never be the same.
Chorus
Now I feel different
I don't know if you feel the same
how interesting how time changes.
Chorus
Of that total sum of affection
only 50% remains at the moment
and nothing more.
Chorus
And not even half of the sorrows remain
nowadays, half
melancholy and problems are left behind.
Chorus
We tried once
and I learned to fail
it was written what was not, will not be.
Chorus
From this heart I will only give you half
everything has changed, I can't give you more.
Chorus
