Por El Viejo Barrio

Just as I remember you
Is how I want to remember you
That's why I don't want to see you
That's why I don't want to talk to you
How I remember you now
Is how I want to remember you

I've been told they saw you
There in the old neighborhood
You were dragging yourself on the ground
Beyond the bell tower
I've been told they saw you
There in the old neighborhood

And I pray to the virgin
And I ask the saints
Not to take you so far
As your sins arrive
Why keep asking
Why keep praying

I offered you everything
Without asking for anything in return
And to think you missed out
For not asking me
I who offered everything
Without asking for anything in return

And I pray to the virgin
And I ask the saints
Not to take you so far
As your sins arrive
Why keep asking
Why keep praying

And if one day you return
And knock on my door
Know that I no longer live
In the same neighborhood
And if one day you return
And knock on my door
